Introduction

The i5s (hereafter called the “Current Clamp”) is compatible with any instrument that can accept

a standard BNC connector and is capable of ac millivolt measurements; the Current Clamp can

also be used with digital multimeters using a BNC-to-dual banana plug adapter. The Current

Clamp produces an output of 400 mV ac per 1 A ac input level.

Safety Information

To ensure safe operation and service of the Current Clamp, follow these instructions:

)

Read the operating instructions before use and follow all safety instructions.

Use the Current Clamp only as specified in the operating instructions, otherwise the

clamp’s safety features may not protect you.

Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective equipment must be

used to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are

exposed.

Do not hold the Current Clamp anywhere beyond the tactile barrier, see Figure 1.

Before each use, inspect the Current Clamp. Look for cracks or missing portions of the

clamp housing or output cable insulation. Also look for loose or weakened

components. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the jaws.

Never use the Current Clamp on a circuit with voltages higher than 600 V CAT III.

CAT III equipment is designed to protect against transients in equipment in fixed

equipment installations, such as distribution panels, feeders and short branch circuits,

and lighting systems in large buildings.

The Clamp is designed for use on insulated conductors only. Use extreme caution when

working around bare conductors or bus bars. Contact with the conductor could result in

electric shock.

Use caution when working with voltages above

60 V dc or 30 V ac rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

Do not apply around or remove from HAZARDOUS LIVE conductors.

Product is protected by double insulation.

Instrument Compatibility

device that has the following features:

Measurement Considerations

Observe the following guidelines when making measurements:

Operation

To use the Current Clamp, refer to “Measurement Considerations” and Figure 1:

)

BNC or Banana inputs

Input accuracy of 1 % or better to take full advantage of the accuracy of the Current Clamp.

Input impedance of > 1 M

To avoid shock or personal injury, keep fingers behind the tactile barrier, see Figure 1.

Current input impedance on the Fluke 430 Series Three-Phase Power Quality Analyzer is

< 1 MΩ, but it has a special calibration setting for the i5s to achieve full accuracy.

Center the conductor inside the Current Clamp jaw.

Make sure the Current Clamp is perpendicular to the conductor.

For optimal reading, make sure the conductor is centered in the jaws of the Current

Clamp.

Avoid taking measurements close to other current-carrying conductors.

If necessary, add a dual banana plug to BNC adapter to the i5s BNC connector.

Connect the clamp cable to the instrument. If using an adapter, use the common and

volts inputs of the meter and switch it on.

Make sure the measurement instrument is set to the proper range.

Make sure the arrows on each side of the Current Clamp face towards the load of the

circuit.

Open the Current Clamp jaw by pushing the release button toward the jaw until the latch

has cleared the barrier, then press down to open the jaw.

Connect the Current Clamp jaws around the insulated conductor to be measured and

release the button. Ensure that the release button has returned to the original position to

resume the circuit testing.

Maintenance

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:

If the Current Clamp does not work or perform properly, use the following steps to help isolate

the problem:

1. Inspect the jaw mating surface for cleanliness. If any foreign material is present, the jaw will

2. Verify that the function selection and range on the Multimeter are correct and adjusted to the

Cleaning

Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

Open the jaws and wipe the magnetic pole pieces with a lightly oiled cloth. Do not allow rust or

corrosion to form on the magnetic core ends.
