Overview
The Model 9290-10 is a clamp-on adapter rated for 1500A AC, with a
10:1 CT ratio.
In addition to the larger clamping capability, broad frequency character-
istics and good phase characteristics reliably provide clamp-on Power
HiTesters with expanded range and large current measurements.

Measurement categories
This product complies with CAT III safety requirements.To ensure safe opera-
tion of measurement products, IEC 61010 establishes safety standards for var-
ious electrical environments, categorized as CAT II to CAT IV, and called
measurement categories.
CAT II: Primary electrical circuits in
equipment connected to an AC
electrical outlet by a power cord
(portable tools, household appli-
ances, etc.)
CAT II covers directly measuring
electrical outlet receptacles.
CAT III: Primary electrical circuits
of heavy equipment (fixed installa-
tions) connected directly to the dis-
tribution panel, and feeders from
the distribution panel to outlets.
CAT IV: The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance, and to the
power meter and primary overcurrent protection device (distribution panel).
Using a measurement product in an environment designated with a higher-
numbered category than that for which the product is rated could result in a
severe accident, and must be carefully avoided.
Use of a measurement instrument that is not CAT-rated in CAT II to CAT IV
measurement applications could result in a severe accident, and must be care-
fully avoided.
Usage Notes
This manual contains information and warnings essential for safe
operation of the product and for maintaining it in safe operating condi-
tion. Before using the product, be sure to carefully read the following
safety notes.
• To avoid short circuits and potentially life-threatening
hazards, never attach the product to a circuit that oper-
ates at more than the 600V.
• This product should only be connected to the sec-
ondary side of a breaker, so the breaker can prevent
an accident if a short circuit occurs. Connections
should never be made to the primary side of a
breaker, because unrestricted current flow could
cause a serious accident if a short circuit occurs.
• To avoid electric shock, do not touch the portion
beyond the protective barrier during use.
• To avoid electric shock, do not allow the product to get wet,
and do not use it when your hands are wet.
• To avoid electric shock when measuring live lines, wear
appropriate protective gear, such as insulated rubber gloves,
boots and a safety helmet.
• Note that the product may be damaged if current exceeding
the selected measurement range is applied for a long time.
