AC Current
The following ac current specifications are for sinusoidal signals with amplitudes greater than 5 % of range. For inputs
from 1 % to 5 % of range, add an additional error of 0.1 % of range.
Input Protection....................................................... Tool accessible 11 A/1000 V and 440 mA/1000 V fuses, limits of
400 mA continuous 550 mA for 2 minutes on, 1 minute off.
Measurement Method ............................................. ac-coupled true-rms, dc-coupled to the fuse and shunt (no blocking
capacitor)
AC Filter Bandwidth
Slow .................................................................... 3 Hz to 10 kHz
Medium ............................................................... 20 Hz to 10 kHz
