9780 Clamp Meter Adaptor v1.2 Introduction The 9780 is an adaptor designed for use with Time Electronics multifunction calibrators, or calibrated AC or DC sources. It enables accurate calibration and verification of a wide range of clamp-type meters. The unit is features twin coils built into a high insulation base plate, with a foam mat for positioning the clamp meter being calibrated.
Operation Important Warnings Duty Cycle: The 9780 is rated for continuous operation at 10 A. At 22 A the duty cycle should be a maximum of 3 minutes on and 6 minutes off. Do not exceed this. Caution Hot Surface: The surface of the coils can become hot.
Coils The 9780 is fitted with 2 main coils. A single turn coil (x1) and a 50 turn coil (x50). The x50 turn coil can effectively multiply the current by a factor of 50, allowing current clamps to be calibrated up to 1100 A.
9780 Clamp Meter Adaptor v1.2 Test Setup Three terminals are available on the side of the 9780. To use the x1 turn coil connect the test leads supplied from the calibrator to the x1 red terminal and the black common terminal.
