PRODUCT FEATURES

2.1 Description

The MiniFlex

®

 HF is a compact flexible AC current transformer composed 

of a flexible sensor and an electronic module. It is designed to measure 

from 5Hz to 1MHz. The flexible sensor permits measurements on conduc

-

tors where standard clamp-on probes could not be used. In particular, it 

can be installed in confined spaces, places where access is difficult, or 

even wrapped around irregular shapes.

The MiniFlex

®

 HF is lightweight. It does not use magnetic cores like stan

-

dard transformers. The transformation principle is based on an air core. 

It presents virtually no load to the system under test, has a low phase 

shift and excellent frequency response from 5Hz to 1MHz at -3db, and 

cannot be damaged by overloads. The sensor assembly is insulated for 

1000V CAT III; 600V CAT IV. The MiniFlex

®

 HF meets EN 61010 and is 

CE marked.
The MiniFlex

®

 HF has an mV output proportional to the current measured 

for direct readings on oscilloscopes, DMMs, data loggers and power or 

harmonic meters. TRMS measurements are taken when connected to a 

TRMS meter. The MiniFlex

®

 HF is insensitive to DC currents and only the 

AC component of the measured signal is measured.

The flexible sensor is available in lengths of 6" and 10".
