Es = Source Voltage
RI = Load resi Source resistance
Im = Measured current (display reading in amps)
Eb = Burden voltage (calculated)
Eb = meas. current [(200/current range in mA) + .35]
Error:
Error in % = 100 x Eb/(Es - Eb)
Error in A = (Eb x Im)/(Es - Eb)
Example:
ES = 15V
RI = 100 k
Ω
Im = 148.51
µ
A (.14851 mA)
Eb = 148.51 x 10
-6
x [(200/.2) + .35]
= 148.51 x 10
-6
x 1000.35 = 148.56 mV
Max, error in % = 100 x [148.56 mV/(15V - .14856V)] = 1.0003%
Add this to the range spec. accuracy
Max. error in % = 1.0003%
±
(.2% + 2 digits)
Max. error in A = (148.56 mV x 148.51
µ
A)/(15000 mV - 148.56 mV)
= 1.486

Add 1.486
