    The A C F - 3 0 0 0 D M - A design utilizes the light weight and flexibility of the Flex- ible AC Current Tr a n s d u c e r. This transducer is a versatile current probe that may be wrapped around most conductors.
  • Page 7 There is minimal shock hazard using the ACF-3000DM-A, as the transducer does not generate high voltages at low frequencies. Each transducer has been Hi-Pot tested to several thousand volts with no voltage breakdown.
