Precautions to Be Taken When Using Current Probes
When connecting the current probe to the probe power supply terminal on the right side
panel, make sure that the current does not exceed the range shown below. Otherwise,
the DL750/DL750P operation may become unstable due to the activation of the
excessive current protection circuit of the power supply.

Number of current probes that can be used
700937 (15 A): Up to 4
701930 (150 A): Up to 2
701931 (500 A): 1

When using the current probe, the number of probes that can be used is limited by the
current generated by the device under measurement (current measured by the current
probe). The characteristics of the measured current versus the current consumption of
an active probe that can be connected to the DL750/DL750P are shown below.
