PRODUCT FEATURES
2.1 Description
The MiniFlex
®
is a compact flexible AC current transformer composed of
a flexible sensor and an electronic module. The flexible sensor permits
measurements on conductors 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
®
is lightweight. It does not use magnetic cores like standard
transformers. The transformation principle is based on an air core. It pres-
ents virtually no load to the system under test, has a low phase shift and
excellent frequency response, and cannot be damaged by overloads. The
sensor assembly is insulated for 1000V CAT III; 600V CAT IV. The Mini-
Flex
®
meets EN 61010 and is CE marked.
The MiniFlex
®
has an mV output proportional to the current measured
for direct readings on DMMs, data loggers, oscilloscopes, and power or
harmonic meters. TRMS measurements are taken when connected to a
TRMS meter. The MiniFlex
®
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".
