5.4.1 Inrush Current mode
The meter has the ability to capture an inrush current signal using a 100ms sampling window.
The sampling window opens only when the threshold current (see below) is detected.
When detecting an input current ±50 digits of the selected range the meter will calculate the
RMS values for a 100mS period and display this value. Refer to illustration below.
For the 30A range the minimum triggering current threshold is 0.5A
For the 300A range the minimum triggering current threshold is 5.0A
For the 3000A range the minimum triggering current threshold is 50A
1.
Press the INRUSH button to access the Inrush Current mode.
2.
The display will show the Inrush icon
and the display digits will switch to dashes.
3.
The meter then waits for a current signal to exceed the threshold.
4.
When ready, turn on power to the device under test. The meter will capture the highest
reading detected during a 100ms window. Note that the 100ms window does not open until
the minimum triggering current is detected.
5.
To exit the Inrush mode at any time, press any button. The Inrush icon will switch OFF.
