Current Measurements - PeakTech 1650 Manual De Instrucciones

WARNING!
To avoid possible electric shock, instrument damage and/or
equipment damage, do not attempt to take any voltage
measurements if the voltage is above 600 V AC/DC are the
maximum voltages that this instrument is designed to measure.
The "COM" terminal potential should not exceed 600 V measured
to ground.
4. Plug the red test lead into the V/-Input jack on the meter and
connect the circuit where a voltage measurement is required.
Voltage is always measured in parallel across a test point.
5. Turn on power the circuit/device to be measured and make
the voltage measurement reduce the range setting if set too
high until a satisfactory reading is obtained.

6.2. Current Measurements

WARNING! These Snap-arounds are designed to take current
measurements on circuits with a maximum voltage difference of
600 V AC between any conductor and ground potential. Using the
snap-around for current measurements on circuits above this
voltage may cause electric shock, instrument damage and/or
damage to the equipment under test. Before measuring current
make certain that the test leads are removed from the instrument.
The snap-around is overload protected up to 600 V AC for up to 1
Min. Do not take current readings on circuits where the maximum
current potential is not known. Do not exceed the maximum
current that this instrument is designed to measure.
1. Set Function Switch to 40 A, 400 A AC or 40A, 400A DC.
2. Select the AC or DC-function by pressing the MODE-button.
If you want to measure DCA, press the REL-button to set the
display to 00.00.
3. Press the trigger to open the transformer jaws and clamp
them around a conductor. Jaws should be completely closed
before taking a reading.
