Ampere-second product rating of the probe. Exceeding these ratings can magnetize the probe and cause measurement errors. To determine if your measurement exceeds the Ampere-second product, perform either Procedure A or Procedure B: A6302 and A6302XL Instructions... -
Page 16: Figure 3: Applying The Amp-Second Product Rule
For example, the A6302 current probe has a maximum Ampere-second product of 100 A s. If a pulse measured with an A6302 probe has a peak current of 40 A, the maximum allowable pulse width would be 100 A s divided by 40 A, or 2.5 s. - Page 17 For example, the A6302 current probe has a maximum Ampere-second product of 100 A s. If a pulse measured with an A6302 probe has a width of 3 s, the maximum allowable peak current would be 100 A s divided by 3 s, or 33.3 A.
