3. OPERATION The current probes and flexible sensors are used to measure the current flowing in a conductor or bus bar without opening the circuit. They also insulate the user from dangerous voltages in the circuit. The choice of current probe or sensor to be used depends on the amperage to be measured and the diameter of the cables or size of the bus bar.
