PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
When 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.
