2. The maximum continuous input range is based on the heat
that is internally generated during the measurement. Note
that the input current should not exceed this range; otherwise,
the current probe might be damaged.
3. The linear response range of the input current varies
according to the frequency of the current being measured.
For the variation relation curve between them, refer to
Appendix 2 Relation between Max Input Current and
Frequency.
4. If excess current is input, generated heat activates a built-in
safety function that blocks normal output. If this happens,
disconnecting the current sensor and the conductor under
measurement or reduce the input current to zero. Wait until
the current sensor has had sufficient time to cool before
resuming operation.
Note: Even if the input current does not exceed the maximum
continuous input range, continuous input for an extended
period of time may result in activation of the safety circuit to
prevent damage resulting from heating of the current sensor.
5. At high ambient temperatures, the built-in safety circuit may
activate at current input levels below the maximum
continuous input range.
6. Continuous input of current exceeding the maximum
continuous input range or repeated safety circuit activation
will degrade the performance of the safety circuit, possibly
resulting in damage to the device.
