  • Page 19: Chapter 3 Measurement Principle

    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 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.
  • Page 23: Measurement Procedure

    Chapter 4 Measurement 4.2 Measurement Procedure (1) Make sure that all preparations described in the previous section are completed. (2) Set up a target to be measured so that it can be used. Do not energize the target to be measured even when it is ready to be used.
  • Page 24 Chapter 4 Measurement The current detection polarity is shown as in the following figure. Positive polarity is output by current flowing in the direction indicated by the current direction mark shown on the joint box. Current to be measured Figure 4.2 Current Detection Polarity (4) Turn on this instrument (this instrument is turned on by turning the slide switch shown in the following figure to the I side and off by moving the switch to the O side).
  • Page 25: Before Measurement

    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 Achieve Accurate Measurement As explained in Chapter 3 “Measurement Principle,” the Rogowski Coil is a wire rod wound tight around a tube-like wick material, as illustrated in Figure 3.1.
  • Page 26 Chapter 4 Measurement 4.3.2 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. This may influence the output from this instrument. If possible, place the Rogowski Coil Sensor part away from the part whose voltage fluctuates.
  • Page 27 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.
