Current clamp for AC currents                                                            "C 100" Series
C160 model (current insulated probe)
Current  30 A peak 300 A peak 2000 A peak
Output 100 mV/A 10 mV/A 1 mV/A
This 1000 A AC clamp enables easy visualization and measuring of ¡§current¡¨ curves.
It fits any oscilloscope since it has a coaxial lead with BNC plug.
It produces a mV signal directly proportional to current.
It offers 3 different sensitivities.
