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. |

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
