    Flex current clamps A 1501, A 1502 and A 1503 3 Safety Read the operating instructions before use and follow all safety instructions. If the test equipment is used in a manner that is not specified in this user manual, the protection provided by the equipment might be impaired! Adhere to local and national safety codes.
  • Page 6: Typical Applications

    Flex current clamps A 1501, A 1502 and A 1503 5 Typical applications 5.1 Power Quality Measurement Current clamps have linear response through wide frequency bandwidth (see Figure 7 and Figure 11). Therefore they are well suited for:  Power Quality auditing, ...
  • Page 7 Flex current clamps A 1501, A 1502 and A 1503  It is very important that the conductor is in the centre and perpendicular to the current censor as much as possible, in order to minimise position measurement error.  Minimise influence of adjacent current-carrying conductors, and measure at the point where they are far away from each other.
