Current probes
Several Dranetz current probes can be used with the HDPQ Xplorer. Actual photos of
typical probes compatible with the HDPQ Xplorer - TR (B Series) probes, PR (B
Series) probes, DRANFLEX (XLB and MHB Series) - are illustrated in the next pages,
with corresponding part numbers and descriptions. Refer to Appendix B Technical
Specifications for detailed specifications of these current probes.
NOTE: Some older probes may be incompatible with the HDPQ Xplorer. Refer to
Appendix A Optional Accessories for the list of compatible probes before connecting
any.
Probe positioning
: An arrow marking on the handle is a guide to ensure that you
position the probe with the arrow pointing towards the load when monitoring the line
conductor. Correct position of the probe is necessary for correct power measurements,
where in-phase voltage and current measurements are necessary. A positive watts
reading indicates that the probe is pointed towards the load, and a negative reading
indicates that the probe is pointed towards the source.
