1000A/1A Permalloy 50mm diameter Clamp on AC Current Probe With 4mm
Banana Plug Adapter
Theory
In electrical and electronic engineering, a current probe is an
electrical device with jaws which open to allow clamping around an
electrical conductor. This allows measurement of the current in a
conductor without the need to make physical contact with it, or to
disconnect it for insertion through the probe. Current probes are
typically used to read the magnitude of alternating current (AC)
and, with additional instrumentation, the phase and waveform can
also be measured. Some clamps meters can measure currents of 1000 A
and more.
Applications
The round jaw design on the P50 AC current probe along with the
high content nickel metal core makes them well suited for power
quality applications where high accuracy and low phase shift along
with wide frequency are important. Measurement range is 1mA to
1000A.
This industrial-style clamp-on probe has a BNC connector and can be
used with a shrouded banana plug adapter so it can be used on
digital multimeters, TekMeter, and oscilloscopes. The P50 can
measure AC currents from 1 mA to 1000 A peak over a frequency range
of 5 Hz to 30 MHz. It provides a 1 mV, 10 mV, or 100 mV output for
each Amp measured.
The P50 current probe is a general purpose 1000A AC current clamp
designed for use with DMMs, loggers and other instruments that have
a current input. It has a 1000:1 ratio and output of 1mA per amp or
1mV per amp measured in the jaw. The P50 has an integral 2.5m lead
terminated. The rounded jaw design on this current probe makes it
well-suited for power applications where high accuracy 0.1% and low
phase shift and wide frequency response are important.
