3.2 Current Measurements (DC & AC)
The ranges for DC current measurements in M3500A are 10mA, 100mA,
1A and 3A. For AC current measurements, the range is 1A with a
sensitivity of 1
μ
A to 3A AC-Coupled TRMS with a sensitivity of 10
μ
A.
Figure 3-4 and 3-5 show you how to measure DC/AC currents in
M3500A.
Warning! The maximum input current allowed is 3A, 250V. Do not
apply excess current to your meter to avoid damaging the fuse of current
input.
※
Note: To eliminate the thermal EMFs due to the differences between
two metals, use copper leads to connect your source signal to the meter.
