Description of leakage current clamp
The A 1472 is a 1000/1 ratio leakage current clamp for measuring
alternating currents in the range from 0.5 mA to 10 A.
The A1472 current clamp is specially designed to be used in combination
with METREL DeltaPAT testers.
Refer to chapter
5. Technical specification
for list of all measuring
instruments suitable to work with the A1472 current clamp.
Main clamp parts:
1. Current sensor
2. Protection barriers
3. Conductor opening
4. Signal output terminals

2.1 Difference to A 1579
The leakage current clamps differs only in applied safety banana
colours (4), those are red and black for the A 1579 instead green and
brown for the A 1472.

Warning:
Do not leave open signal output terminals of the current
clamp during measurement to avoid damage and electric
shock on secondary side, never enclose conductor in the
jaw unless the clamp is connected to measuring
instrument!
