NEW Accessory: A 1942 AC/DC Current Clamp Probe


The new A 1942 AC/DC Current Clamp Probe is a special accessory for measurements in photovoltaic systems where there is a need to measure both the DC (from the photovoltaic panels) and the AC (on the AC side of a photovoltaic inverter) currents. The A 1942 AC/DC Current Clamp Probe has several measurement ranges (selectable using a rotary switch) for DC and AC currents; from a few milliamperes to a few hundred amperes.
The connection terminals (banana plugs) on the A 1942 AC/DC Current Clamp Probe are arranged for direct use with the MI 3108 EurotestPV and MI 3109 EurotestPV Lite.
Overview of A 1942 AC/DC Current Clamp Probe

AC current measurement range:
  • 4 A -> measuring constant 100 mV/A
  • 40 A -> measuring constant 10 mV/A
  • 200 A -> measuring constant 1 mV/A

DC current measurement range:
  • 40 A -> measuring constant 10 mV/A
  • 200 A -> measuring constant 1 mV/A

Applications:
  • AC and DC current measurements using MI 3108/3109 PV instruments.
  • AC and DC current measurements with supported DMMs.
  • AC and DC current measurements with an oscilloscope (connection adapter from banana to BMC connector not included).
