Page 12: Operation
CHAPTER 3 OPERATION Measurement Principle The flexible sensor is based on the Rogowski coil. This principle combines: • Excellent linearity with no saturation effect (therefore no heating) • Light-weight (no magnetic circuit) 3.2.1 Connection 1. Press the locking clip(s) to open the sensor. 2. Place the sensor around the conductor through which the current to be measured flows (only one conductor in the sensor), then close the sensor. 3. -
Page 13: Freezing The Measurement
If the measurement exceeds the display capacity (4000A), the device dis- plays 3999, blinking. If the measurement is too low (see § 3.2), the device displays dashes. If the edges of the signal are too steep, or its peak factor is too large, the device displays OL. -
Page 14: Search For Maximum
3.2.4 Search for Maximum To search for a maximum, for example a spike lasting at least 100ms, press the HOLD (MAX > 2s) button for more than two seconds. The Max symbol will display and the instrument will begin measuring. The Digital Flexprobe compares each new measurement to the one ®... -
