Instrument Compatibility
The Current Clamp is compatible with any Fluke Multimeter or
any other current measurement device that has the following
features:
•
BNC or Banana inputs
•
Input accuracy of 1 % or better to take full advantage of
the accuracy of the Current Clamp.
•
Input impedance of > 1 M
Ω
in parallel with up to 47 pF
Note
Current input impedance on the Fluke 430 Series
Three-Phase Power Quality Analyzer is < 1 M
Ω
, but it
has a special calibration setting for the i5s to achieve
full accuracy.
Measurement Considerations
•
Center the conductor inside the Current Clamp jaw.
•
Make sure the Current Clamp is perpendicular to the
conductor.
•
For optimal reading, make sure the conductor is centered
in the jaws of the Current Clamp.
Observe the following guidelines when making measurements:
•
Avoid taking measurements close to other current-carrying
conductors.
Operation
To use the Current Clamp, refer to “Measurement
Considerations” and Figure 1:
1.
If necessary, add a dual banana plug to BNC adapter to
the i5s BNC connector.
2.
Connect the clamp cable to the instrument. If using an
adapter, use the common and volts inputs of the meter
and switch it on.
3.
Make sure the measurement instrument is set to the
proper range.
4.
Make sure the arrows on each side of the Current Clamp
face towards the load of the circuit.
5.
Open the Current Clamp jaw by pushing the release
button toward the jaw until the latch has cleared the
barrier, then press down to open the jaw.
6.
Connect the Current Clamp jaws around the insulated
conductor to be measured and release the button. Ensure
that the release button has returned to the original position
to resume the circuit testing.
