Position on the (Grounded) Circuit under Measurement That You Should Connect
the Shunt-type Current Sensor To
Connect the shunt-type current sensor to the power earth ground as shown in the figure below. If
you have to connect the sensor to the non-earth side, use a wire that is thicker than AWG18 (with
a conductive cross-sectional area of approximately 1 mm
2
) between the sensor and the instrument
to reduce the effects of common mode voltage. Take safety and error reduction into consideration
when constructing external current sensor cables.

Ungrounded Measurement Circuits
When the circuit under measurement is not grounded and the signal is high in frequency or large
in power, the effects of the inductance of the shunt-type current sensor cable become large. In this
case, use an isolation sensor (CT, DC-CT, or clamp) to perform measurements.
