1.1. During 

use 

Carefully read the following recommendations and instructions: 
 

  Always de-energize circuit under test before installing flexible measuring heads. 

Always inspect the connecting cable and the flexible measuring heads for damage 
before using this product. 

  Do not use the clamp on non-insulated conductors whose potential to earth exceeds 

1000V AC 

  Do not use the clamp outdoor 

  Do not expose the clamp to water splashes. 

  Keep the clamp gap perfectly clean 

  Should the clamp be unintentionally used without load (not connected to the measuring 

instrument), take the clamp off the cable, wait 1 minute before connecting the clamp to 
the measuring instrument, then clamp the cable again 

  Do not use the HTFLEX33D if is or seems damaged 

 

2. INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION 

2.1. Introduction 

HTFLEX33D is an innovative current transducer based on the Rogowsky’s principle that 
combines easy use with measurement accuracy. 
 
The HTFLEX33D current probe is similar in purpose to a CT or current transformer. The 
output is an analogue voltage proportional to the AC current in the conductor. The output 
signal is isolated form the hazardous conductor potentials and is exact replica of the 
current waveform in the conductor. The output signal is available via a 3 pin connector 
(see Fig. 1).
