15 Measurement with Accessory Sensors
15.1 Measuring Current with a Current Sensor Clamp
Biasing, leakage and circulating current up to 1 A, as well as
leakage current up to 1000 A can be measured with the help of
special current sensor clamps, which are connected to sockets
(15) and (16).
Attention!
!
Danger: High-Voltage!
Use only current sensor clamps which are specifically
offered as accessories by GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH.
Other current sensor clamps might not be terminated
with an output load at the secondary side. Dangerously
high voltage may endanger the user and the device in
such cases.
Attention!
!
Maximum input voltage at the test instrument!
Do not measure any currents which are greater than
specified for the measuring range of the respective
clamp. Input voltage for clamp connector sockets (15)
and (16) at the test instrument may not exceed 1 V!
Attention!
!
Read and adhere strictly to the operating instructions for
the current clamp sensors, as well as the safety
precautions contained therein, in particular with
reference to the approved measuring category.
