AC/DC Current Clamp

Instruction Sheet

Introduction

The i800 AC/DC Current Clamp (“the Clamp”) has been designed

for use with multimeters, recorders, power analyzers, safety

testers, etc. for accurate non-intrusive ac current measurement.

Using the latest transformer technology, the Clamp range can

measure currents from 100 mA to 800 A and is available with

current or voltage outputs.

The Clamp complies with the safety standards EN61010-2-032

for input and output circuits.

i800 English Instruction Sheet Page 2 Safety Instructions Please read this section carefully. It will make you familiar with the most important safety instructions for handling the Clamp. In this instruction sheet, a Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazard(s) to the user. A Caution identifies conditions and actions that may damage the Clamp or the test instruments. WX Warning The Clamp may only be used and handled by qualified personnel.

i800 English Instruction Sheet Page 3 SIAC™ (Security Internal Anti Short Circuit) SIACTM (Security Internal Anti Short Circuit), patent applied for, provides protection against short circuits between adjacent primary conductors when clamped around conductors. This mechanism ensures that the magnetic circuit separates at the bottom of the jaw prior to the jaw opening at the top. A detent action produced by SIAC™ can be felt when opening the jaws. This detent action should always be present in use.

Multimeter readings displayed in milliamps (mA) can be read directly as amperes of conductor current. Readings displayed in amperes (A) must be multiplied times 1000 to obtain the amperes of conductor current. mA 320 A Tactile Barrier HOLD MIN MAX RANGE mA Single Current Carrying Conductor CAT CAT eyd001f.eps Figure 1.

Maintenance Performance Test Verify Probe accuracy by measuring the output of a 20 A (±0.2 %), 60 Hz current source (Fluke 5100B and 5220A or equivalent). When used with a compatible DMM with ± 0.75 % or better ac current accuracy (Fluke 8060A or equivalent), the probe should measure 20.00 A ± 0.40 A (20.00 mA, ± 0.40 mA). There are no calibration adjustments in the Clamp.
