  • Page 13: Chapter 1 Overview

    Chapter 1 Overview Chapter 1 Overview 1.1 Instrument Overview This instrument is a current probe that uses the Rogowski Coil as a sensor. It allows measurement of current in high-voltage and large-current facilities, such as train inverters, as well as in high-voltage and large-current applications such as development and maintenance of infrastructures of the automotive and other industries.
  • Page 14: Features

    Chapter 1 Overview 1.2 Features The following describes the features of this instrument.  Target of measurement • Train inverters etc. • Development and maintenance of infrastructure facilities of the automotive and other industries  Easy measurement Current in facilities (such as switchboards) can be measured easily. A thin and removable Rogowski Coil (two types of the coils, which have lengths of 300 mm and 700 mm, respectively, are available, and the maximum cross sectional diameter of the coil is 8.5 mm)
  • Page 15: Usage Example

    Chapter 1 Overview 1.3 Usage Example To measure current using this current probe, place a conductor to be measured through the coil loop, and detect a change in magnetic flux caused by the current flowing through the conductor with the Rogowski Coil as an electromotive force, as shown in the following usage example (conceptual illustration).
