around conductors up to 3/4 inch in diameter. The pistol shape allows safe,
easy, one-hand operation when making current measurements.
The Model Y8100 probe is battery powered with size AA cells. It measures
current to 200A dc or ac rms using most any voltmeter. Two ranges, 20A and
200A, produce a 2V output at full-range current.

6-11. AC Current Transformer (Y8101)
The Model Y8101 is a small clamp-on current transformer designed to
extend the current measuring capability of an ac current meter up to 150
amperes. A clamp-on coil designed into the probe allows measurements to
