Making Measurements with the AC Current Probe Model MN213
Connect the black lead of the current probe to common and the red lead to the
AC current input on your DMM or other current measuring instrument. Select the
appropriate current range (400 mAAC range). Clamp the probe around the conductor
to be tested with the arrow pointed toward the load. If the reading is less than 400 mA,
select the lower range until you obtain the best resolution. Read the value display on
the DMM and multiply it by the probe ratio (1000/1). (If reading = 0.159 A, the current
owing through the probe is 0.159 A x 1000 = 159 AAC)
For best accuracy, avoid if possible, the proximity of other conductors which may create noise.
Tips for Making Precise Measurements
When using a current probe with a meter, it is important to select the range that
provides the best resolution. Failure to do this may result in measurement errors.
Make sure that probe jaw mating surfaces are free of dust and contamination.
Contaminants cause air gaps between the jaws, increasing the phase shift between
primary and secondary. It is very critical for power measurement.
