Current

 

Measurement

 

Considerations:

 

 

Current

 

measurement

 

must

 

be

 

performed

 

in

 

the

 

temperature

 

range

 

of

 

0~40

o

C

 

(32

 

to

 

104

o

F).

 

 

When

 

pressing

 

the

 

trigger,

 

do

 

not

 

suddenly

 

release

 

it;

 

the

 

clamp

 

is

 

sensitive

 

to

 

magnetism,

 

heat,

 

and

 

mechanical

 

stress

 

and

 

such

 

impact

 

will

 

cause

 

the

 

reading

 

to

 

fluctuate

 

briefly.

 

 

If

 

the

 

reading

 

is

 

positive

 

in

 

the

 

measurement

 

of

 

DC

 

current,

 

the

 

direction

 

of

 

current

 

is

 

from

 

top

 

to

 

bottom

 

(meter

 

faceplate

 

is

 

the

 

top

 

and

 

the

 

meter

 

back

 

is

 

the

 

bottom).

 

 

In

 

order

 

to

 

ensure

 

measurement

 

accuracy,

 

the

 

conductor

 

measured

 

must

 

be

 

positioned

 

in

 

the

 

middle

 

of

 

the

 

clamping

 

area;

 

otherwise

 

additional

 

error

 

of

 

reading

 

of

 

±1.0%

 

(typical)

 

will

 

be

 

generated.

 

 

The

 

accuracy

 

of

 

non

sinusoidal

 

waves

 

must

 

be

 

adjusted

 

as

 

follows:

 

 

Crest

 

factor

 

1~2,

 

accuracy

 

increases

 

by

 

3%

 

 

Crest

 

factor

 

2~2.5,

 

accuracy

 

increases

 

by

 

5%

 

 

Crest

 

factor

 

2.5~3,

 

accuracy

 

increases

 

by

 

7%
