Several Dranetz current probes can be used with the Energy Platform. Typical
current probes are illustrated on page 2-10. Refer to Appendix A for descriptions and
part numbers of probes and adapter cables. Refer to Appendix B for specifications of
current probe models TR2500, TR2510, DRANFLEX 3000XL/6000XL, and
DRANFLEX 3003XL/6003XL.
Probe positioning: An arrow marking on the handle is a guide to ensure that you
position the probe with the arrow pointing towards the load when monitoring the line
conductor. Correct position of the probe is necessary for correct power measurements,
where in-phase voltage and current measurements are necessary. A positive watts
reading indicates that the probe is pointed towards the load, and a negative reading
indicates that the probe is pointed towards the source.
