Load and leakage currents (measurement with current
clamps)
Advantages of clamp measurements are:
Measured electrical equipment does not need to be disconnected from the mains.
Selective current tests can be performed by embracing individual conductors.
Individual currents can be measured without disconnections.
Scope of test
– load currents
Current clamp is a standard measuring transducer for power and load measurements.
For AC currents from 100mA up to several 1000AAC measuring with current clamps is
simple and quite accurate. Current clamps are best suited:
For functional testing of fixed installed appliances.
For functional testing of appliances with nominal currents >16A.
For troubleshooting of current paths in appliances.
Figure 4-25: Current measurement with current clamps
Appliance must be powered on. By embracing separate conductors load or leakage
currents can be measured.
