Measurement of large dc currents from 1000Adc-100,000Adc Lightweight portable wrap-around, DC current probe

Description

The DCflex dc current probe is a portable easy-to-use, clip-around, split core DC current probe. It is ideal for the measurement of large DC currents found in plating applications, with models from 1000A to 100,000A. The DCflex is ideal for the analysis of large dc currents in chemical processes and aluminum smelting plant, where system current needs to be easily verified without system shutdown or installing shunts. The probe is lightweight and can be handheld, it takes a single shot measurement of the dc current with a typical accuracy of better than 1%. The measurement is traceable to International National Standards and is conveniently powered from batteries or AC adapter.

The DCFlex Easy wrap around operation for measurement of large DC currents

As the sense coil is clipped around the conductor, it creates a current pulse from DC

How the DC Flex works

The DCFlex Rogowski sense coil responds to a change of current - from zero to the DC current value flowing, this action is created by the user wrapping the coil around the conductor. Once the user has performed this action the DC Flex's peak hold meter holds the dc current measurement. The signal conditioner (aka integrator) is supplied with a meter and zero adjustment which is set before a measurement is made. The DCFlex's instantaneous output provides a useful output for ac ripple measurement - connecting to any oscilloscope

When ordering please provide the following information

Maximum dc current
Sense Coil length 1000mm (~310mm dia) or 2000mm (~630mm dia)
Cable length from sense coil to meter/integrator (1.5 metre standard)
Insulation 2kV standard (supplied with silicone sleeve)
Power supply 12Vdc - 24Vdc as standard, supplied with 120Vac or 240Vac adapter

i.e. DCFlex / 10kA / 1000 = 10000Adc, 12-24Vdc power, 1.5 metre cable, 1000mm sense coil
