Probing Principles
1. Orient the two conductors under test so
that the polarities (+ and – ) oppose each
other.
2. Clamp the current probe around the two
conductors. Be careful not to pinch a
conductor in the probe jaws.
3. Measure the current.
Conventional current flows from positive to
negative. A wavefo rm ab ove the baseline
indicates that the conducto r w ith the
conventional current flow in the direction
of the probe arrow is carrying the greater
current.
