6.0 Operation
Before connecting any components, follow the
safety information in the ETS-Lindgren
Product Information Bulletin included with your
shipment.
If measuring uninsulated conductors: Use
extreme care when installing the current probe
and taking measurements. If possible,
de-energize the test sample during assembly
and disassembly of the setup. Also, arrange to
center the test conductor in the current probe
window for additional voltage breakdown
protection.
Do not permit the uninsulated current probe
connector and cable connectors to come in
contact with the ground plane or other nearby
conductors. This will prevent possible
measurement error due to ground loops, and
will avoid danger from high voltages.
Ensure that the 50-ohm load is capable of safely
dissipating the incurred power. Should the load
become disconnected, the developed voltage
will be come much greater and may be very
dangerous.
The RF current probe is a broadband RF transformer for use with EMI test
equipment. Radio frequency currents can be measured in cables without
physically disturbing the circuit.
