AC Current Characteristics
Overrange 20% on 100 μA, 1 mA, 10 mA, 100 mA, and 1 A ranges
1% on 3 A and 10 A ranges
AC Measurement Type AC-coupled True RMS; measures the AC component of the input
Digital sampling with anti-alias filter
Input Protection See DC current characteristics.
Crest Factor
25
(excludes sine wave) 10:1 maximum crest factor (1.75:1 at full-scale)
Autorange selects optimum range for crest factor up to 10:1
Accuracy specifications apply to all crest factors less than 5 and are limited to the product of (crest factor)
× (fundamental frequency) ≤ 200 Hz.
ACI Frequency Frequency readings are automatically returned in the reading buffer when in full buffer mode.
Frequency values are typical.
Nominal Shunt Resistance
26
100 μA: 1 kΩ, 1 mA: 100 Ω, 10 mA: 10 Ω, 100 mA: 1 Ω, 1 A: 100 mΩ, 3 A: 100 mΩ, 10 A: 5 mΩ
Notes
21. Specifications are for sine wave inputs >5% of range and >10 μA
RMS
.
22. Typical performance for the indicated frequency ranges.
23. When using the rear terminals, add 0.1 V to the 100 mA range and 0.5 V to the 1 A and 3 A ranges.
24. For signals of <5 Hz, add 0.2% of reading uncertainty.
25. 100 μA range is specified only for crest factors <3.
26. Guaranteed by design.
