Measuring Currents
Be sure to read the following sections and perform the steps
described there before taking measurements:
“2.1 Inspecting the Device Before Use” (p. 26)
“2.2 Preparing for Measurement” (p. 28)
Follow all operating precautions for your waveform
measuring instrument or any other measuring instrument.
DANGER
Do not cause a short-circuit between the wire
to be measured and another wire with the
metallic parts of the tips of the sensor.
Doing so can cause arc flash, resulting in serious bodily
injury or damage to the device or other equipment.
Do not measure any current in excess of the
derating curve.
Doing so can cause overheating of the device, resulting
in bodily injury, fire, or damage to the device.
See “Frequency derating curve” (p. 78).
The maximum measurement current varies with the
frequency, and the current that can be measured
continuously is limited. Operating the device at less than
this limitation is referred to as derating.
