CP-600DC-ID Guide
84744 Rev 2 Sept 2015
GENERAL
The CP-600DC-ID is a split core CT meant for
operation with the Megger Power Quality Line
of Instruments. This current clamp will measure
both AC and DC current.
This CT is NOT
powered by the unit.
This CT requires a 9V
battery to operate.
NOTE:
If using this CT with a PA-9 series
power quality analyzer the PA-9
current full scale value MUST be
set to 1000.
