Introduction
The i310s Current Clamp ("Clamp") has been designed for use
with oscilloscopes and digital multimeters for accurate non-
intrusive measurement of ac, dc and complex waveform currents.
Using advanced Hall Effect technology, the Clamp can
accurately measure currents up to 450 A peak over the
frequency range of dc to 20 kHz. These features make it a
powerful tool for use in inverters, switch mode power supplies,
industrial controllers, automotive diagnostics, and other
applications requiring current measurements and/or waveform
analysis.
