Keysight U1583B Current Clamp

Operating Instructions

The U1583B current clamp is a dual range 40 A and 400 A clamp-on AC current clamp. This U1583B current 

clamp is designed for Keysight digital multimeter (DMM) and Keysight oscilloscope. A BNC-to-banana plug 

adapter is required when connecting the current clamp to a multimeter. For oscilloscope, connect the current 
clamp directly to the input terminal with the BNC connector.
