AmpFlex - Flexible AC Current Probes

Description

®
The AmpFlex is a flexible AC current transformer composed of a flexible
sensor a nd an electronic m odule. The flexib le sen sor permits
measurements on condu ctors where standard clamp-on probe s could
not be used. In pa rticular, it can be installed in ti ght spaces, around
breaker panels, around cable bundles, around wide or large bus bars, or
even wrapp ed arou nd irregula r sh apes. The Shap e Memory feature
enables the user to "pre-shape" the sensor before inserting it between or
around conductors. This feature facilitates closing, enhances user safety,
and all eviates the drooping effe ct ty pically a ssociated with flexible
sensors.
®
The AmpFle x is lightwe ight and do es not u se magneti c co res like
standard t ransformers. Th e tran sformation pri nciple is ba sed on an ai r
core. It presents virtually no load to the system u nder te st, has a low
phase shift a nd ex cellent frequ ency respon se, a nd cannot be damaged
by overloads.
The se nsor assembly is waterproof and insul ated for 600V CAT IV;
®
1000V CAT III. The AmpFl ex meets EN 61010-1, is CE m arked, and is
designed wit h material s a nd co mponents to meet internatio nal agency
approvals.
®
The Amp Flex ha s a n mV output proportional to th e current m easured
for direct readings on DMMs, data l oggers, oscilloscopes, and power or
harmonic meters. TRMS m easurements are taken when connected to a
®
TRMS m eter. The Amp Flex is in sensitive to DC currents an d onl y the
AC component of the measured signal is measured.
The length of the flexible sensor can be selected in lengths of 24" , 36",
and 48" in le ngth. Consult the factor y for cu stom lengths, ranges and/or
features.
