Scaling Constant
The procedure for setting scaling constants varies depending on the setting method that you have
selected. You can set a scaling constant to a value between 0.001 and 9999. The default setting is
10.00. On the WT310E and WT310EH, the scaling constant is set in display C.
• When the Setting Method Has Been Set to ALL
In display D, you can set the scaling constant for all the elements.
• When the Setting Method Has Been Set to EACH
• In display B, you can set the scaling constant for element 1.
• In display C, you can set the scaling constant for element 2. The setting menu for element 2 is
not displayed on the WT332E.
• In display D, you can set the scaling constant for element 3.
External Current Sensor Measurement Range
After you have set the scaling constant, select a measurement range that corresponds to the rated
output of the external current sensor. You can also select to enable the auto range feature.
In menu configuration mode, the measurement range is set from the current measurement range
setting menu. In quick configuration mode, you can set the measurement range while continuing to
display the measured data.
For information about how to select menu configuration mode or quick configuration mode, see section
2.3.
Selecting a Current Range (External Current Sensor Range)
Example 1:
If you are using the 96030 Clamp-on Probe (which has a 2.5 mV/A conversion ratio) to measure a
current of 200 A, the output voltage of the probe will be 2.5 mV/A × 200 A = 500 mV.
Therefore, you should set the current range (external current sensor range) this instrument to the
500 mV range that is available when the /EX2 option is installed.
Example 2:
If you are using the 96030 Clamp-on Probe (which has a 2.5 mV/A conversion ratio) to measure a
current of 60 A, the output voltage of the probe will be 2.5 mV/A × 60 A = 150 mV.
Therefore, you should set the current range (external current sensor range) of this instrument to the
200 mV range that is available when the /EX2 option is installed.
Example 3:
If you are using the 96031 Clamp-on Probe (which has a 1 mV/A conversion ratio) to measure a
current of 200 A, the output voltage of the probe will be 1 mV/A × 200 A = 200 mV.
Therefore, you should set the current range (external current sensor range) of this instrument to the
200 mV range that is available when the /EX2 option is installed.
Example 4:
If you are using the 96001 Clamp-on Probe (which has a 10mV/A conversion ratio) to measure a
current of 200 A, the output voltage of the probe will be 10mV/A × 200 A = 2000 mV = 2 V.
Therefore, you should set the current range (external current sensor range) of this instrument to the
2.5 V range that is available when the /EX1 option is installed.
