Chapter 1 Overview Chapter 1 Overview 1.1 Rogowski Coil Current Probe This instrument is a current probe that uses the Rogowski Coil as a sensor. It allows to measure the current of semiconductor device or electronic circuits. The coil of this instrument detects a change in magnetic flux caused by the current (target to be measured) flowing through the inside of the coil that forms a closed loop.
Chapter 1 Overview 1.2 Features The following describes the features of this instrument. Target of measurement • Semiconductor Switching • Transient current or switching waveform of electronic equipment Easy measurement • Because of the small size of the current sensor, it is possible to measure the place where the electronic circuit is complicated.
Chapter 1 Overview 1.3 Usage Example To measure current using this current probe, place a conductor to be measured through the Sensor Through Hole, and detect a change in magnetic flux caused by the current flowing through the conductor with the Rogowski Coil as an electromotive force, as shown in the following usage example (conceptual illustration).
Chapter 2 Names and Functions of Parts 2.2 Names and Functions of Main Unit Name Description Reference POWER switch ► Section 4.2 Turns this instrument on and off. This instrument is turned on when this slide switch is moved to the I side and is turned off when moved to the O side.
Chapter 2 Names and Functions of Parts 2.3 Rogowski Coil Sensor Current direction mark Names and Functions of Rogowski Coil Sensor Name Description Rogowski Coil A rogowski coil is formed a closed loop so as to surround Sensor the Sensor Through Hole inside, and is connected to the sensor cable.
Chapter 3 Measurement Principle Chapter 3 Measurement Principle This instrument is designed to measure the current (current waveform) in conductors to be measured. It consists of the Rogowski Coil Sensor part and the main unit (integrator). Sections 3.1 and 3.2 in this chapter describe measurement principles and functions of each part and are concluded with an explanation of a process of measuring the current (current waveform).
Chapter 3 Measurement Principle 3.1 Rogowski Coil Sensor Figure 3.1 shows that the current I flows through the conductor to be measured. This section describes the principle of detecting this current by the Rogowski Coil step by step. Output voltage (V) Signal that is (Current waveform) differential of input...
Chapter 3 Measurement Principle 3.2 Main Unit As illustrated in Figure 3.2, the electromotive force e induced in Section 3.1 is brought in the input part of the main unit through the sensor cable. Main unit (in the dotted Observation with an oscilloscope (not included) area) and other monitoring...
Chapter 4 Measurement Chapter 4 Measurement 4.1 Preparation for Measurement (1) Have this instrument, a monitoring device, and a target to be measured ready. * A monitoring device means an oscilloscope, DVM, recorder, and other devices. (2) Place four AA dry batteries in the main unit, or connect the AC adaptor (option) to this instrument.
Chapter 4 Measurement 4.2 Measurement Procedure (1) Make sure that all preparations described in the previous section are completed. (2) Pass a target to be measured through Sensor Through Hole. Do not apply the target to be measured even when it is ready to be used.

Chapter 4 Measurement (4) Adjust the DC offset voltage (zero point) of the output observed by monitoring devices. a) Have the included accessory Adjustment Screwdriver ready. b) As shown in the figure below, there is a hole for zero point adjustment on the side of ZERO ADJ on the main unit panel.
Chapter 4 Measurement 4.3 Before Measurement This section describes notes on accuracy and the handling of the Rogowski Coil Sensor part when measuring the current using this instrument. 4.3.1 To Minimize Influence of Fluctuations in Voltage If there is a part whose voltage fluctuates around the Rogowski Coil Sensor part, electrostatic coupling between the part and the Rogowski Coil will occur.

The Rogowski Coil has a structural life. The duration of use of the coil depends on the use environment and use conditions. We recommend that you replace a deformed coil or a coil with its surface damaged, in order to maintain safety and accurate measurement. Contact Iwatsu office or our sales distributors for replacement.
