5.1 Important Preliminary checks

DANGER

● Do not make measurements on a circuit in which the electrical potential exceeds AC600V.
● Connect the Power cord to a socket outlet. Never connect it to the socket outlet of AC240V or

more.

● The Clamp sensor, Voltage test leads and Power cord are to be connected to the instrument

first.

● The Voltage test leads or Clamp sensors should not be connected to the input terminals of the

instrument if not required for measurement.

● The instrument should always be connected on the downstream side of a circuit breaker, which

is safer than the upstream side.

● Do not open-circuit the secondary side of a supplementary CT while it is energized because of

the high voltage generated at the secondary side terminals.

● Be careful to avoid short-circuiting the power line with the un-insulated part of the voltage test

probes during the setting up of the instrument.

Transformer jaw tips are designed in such a way

to avoid short-circuiting. If the circuit under test has exposed conductive parts, extra care should
be taken to minimize the possibility of shorting.

WARNING

● To avoid possible electric shock and short-circuit, always turn off the line under test when setting

up the instrument.

● Do not touch the un-insulated tip of Voltage test probes. The use of safety insulted gloves is

recommended.


● Clamp sensor direction for correct measurement:

Ensure that the arrow mark on the clamp sensor points towards to load side.
