Figure 14. Measuring a Load, Method 2
Configure the channel as follows -
•
Method 2 may provide improved results for applications with very low
voltage and very high current, when using the internal shunt.
•
At high frequencies, the wiring length between the load and the current
and voltage measurement points should be kept as short as possible to
avoid inductive and capacitive losses causing inaccuracies.
•
Optionally, set
Wiring Impedance
to (W1 + W2) ohms. Include all wiring
resistances between the load and the points at which the voltage is
measured in the entered value for wiring impedance.
•
Set
V Burden Compensation
to YES.
•
If the current measurement terminals are reversed, then set
Reverse
Current
to
YES
, otherwise set to
NO
.
•
If the voltage measurement terminals are reversed, then set
Reverse
Voltage
to
YES
, otherwise set to
NO
.
