Page 8: Description
2. DESCRIPTION The Models MR417 and MR527 are clamp-on current probes that measure DC currents up to 1400 A, AC currents up to 1000 Arms (1400 A peak), and combined AC+DC currents without opening the circuit that the current is flowing through. They indicate the shape and amplitude of the current measured in the form of a voltage. -

Page 13: Measurements
Figure 4 (MR527 shown) 3.6.2 Converting to Current The MR417 and MR527 both provide two measurement ranges. The MR417 measures current up to 600 A with 1 mV of output corresponding to 1 A and measures current up to 60 A with 10 mV corresponding to 1 A. The MR527 measures current up to 1400 A with 1 mV corresponding to 1 A and measures current up to 150 A with 10 mV corresponding to 1 A. -
