Page 9: Getting Started
This section covers the installation and operation of the A6303 & A6303XL current probes. The A6303 is a DC to 15 MHz current probe designed for use with the AM503 family of current probe amplifiers and the 11A16 plug-in. The A6303 can measure currents to 100 A (DC + peak AC), and up to 500 A peak current (while not exceeding the amp-second rating). -
Page 10: Operating The Current Probe Slide
Figure 2 illustrates the slide operation of the probe. To open the probe, press the bottom of the lock button and squeeze the handle until the core is open. To lock the probe, release the squeeze handle and press the top of the lock button. A6303 & A6303XL Instructions... -
Page 11: Degaussing And Autobalancing The Current Probe
Why Degauss the Current Probe? Degaussing the probe removes any residual magnetization from the probe core. Such residual magnetization can induce measurement error. Autobalancing removes unwanted DC offsets in the amplifier circuitry. A6303 & A6303XL Instructions... -
Page 12: Maximum Current Limits
The quotient is the maximum allowable pulse width; the pulse width at the 50% point of the measured signal must be less than this value.
