Using the Current Probe
The accuracy of current and power readings depends on properly using the
80i-500s Current Probe. The accuracy specifications in this manual assume
that the Current Probe is used correctly.
• Always clamp the 80i-500s Current Probe with the arrow pointing toward
the load (away from the source) for a phase measurement or toward the
source for a neutral measurement. Press
to verify the Current Probe
orientation. If the resulting VA Check Screen generally extends from the
lower left to the upper right of the screen, the Current Probe is connected
properly.
• Always clamp the Current Probe around a single conductor or parallel
conductors that are carrying current for the same phase.
• Always center the conductor in the Current Probe alignment marks.
