80i-600
AC Current Probe
INTRODUCTION
The Model 80i-600 is a clamp-on
ac
current probe designed
to extend the current
me<lsuring
c<lp<lbility
of
an
ac current
meter to 600 amperes. A clamp-on, 1000-turn coil designed
into the probe allows measurements to be made
without
breabng
the circuit under test. The coil serves as the second-
ary
of
a current transformer. Thecurrent carrying conductor
being measured serves as the primary. Because
of
a high
efficiency, quadrature type
of
winding used. wire size ,md
the position
of
the wire within the prohe
jaws
does not effect
accuracy.

MULTIMETER COMPATIBILITY
The 80i-600
is
compatible with any multimeter capable
of
reading ac current equal to 111000
of
the current to
be
measured.
To
take full advantage
of
the
probe's
accuracy, a
multimeter ac current accuracy
of
±O.75%
or
better is
recommended. A voltmeterfitted with an external shunt will
qualify as a suitable current meter. However, to ensure
the
probe'saccuracy, the shunt(or multimeterinput resistance in
ac current) should be less than
12
ohms. This requirement is
met on Fluke
DMM'
s when using a current range
of
20 mA
or
greater.
