Flexible probes for AC current AmpFlex® series SERIE AmpFlex® These ﬂexible current probes are as at home measuring low AC currents of a few tens mA as they are measuring high currents of several tens of kA. Their main point of interest is their ﬂexibility and the ease with which electrical conductors of all shapes and sizes (cables, busbars) and degrees of accessibility can be gripped. They have a number of other advantages; they are lightweight (no magnetic circuit), they do not suffer from the saturation effect and their high level of accuracy combined with minimal phase shift make them perfect for power measurement applications. The sensors in the A110 Series have a ﬂexible core connected by a shielded cable to a small unit containing processing electronics. This IP54 unit offers 4 measurement calibres and can be connected directly to any multimeter, wattmeter or logger. The length of the sensors in this Series (up to 120 cm as standard) enables you to clamp cables with a large cross-section or several conductors simultaneously. The A110 can be used for measurements up to 30 kA AC. The AmpFlex® A110 offers IP67 ingress protection and can be connected to the AC voltage input (mV AC, V AC) of any multimeter or measuring instrument equipped with Ø 4 mm female banana plugs. The A130 model is a version of the A110 Series adapted for measurements on three-phase installations. It is equipped with BNC connections. The processing unit offers 3 measurement calibres. The A130 sensor can be connected to the AC voltage inputs (mV AC, V AC) of any power analyser, logger or measuring instrument equipped with BNC plugs. Non-contractual document

Flexible probe for AC current Model A110 3-30-300-3000/3 AmpFlex® series DESCRIPTION The AmpFlex® A110 is a ﬂexible sensor which comprises an active part (Rogowski coil) and a casing containing an electronic processing unit. Unlike current clamps using magnetic circuits, the AmpFlex® models are ﬂexible sensors without magnetic saturation constraints. As a result, they offer excellent linearity, low phase shift, a large dynamic range for measurement (up to several kA) while remaining easy to use. The sensors’ ﬂexibility makes it easy to clamp the conductor, whatever its type (cable, busbar,...
