AC/DC Current Clamp
Instruction Sheet
Introduction
The i800 AC/DC Current Clamp (“the Clamp”) has been designed
for use with multimeters, recorders, power analyzers, safety
testers, etc. for accurate non-intrusive ac current measurement.
Using the latest transformer technology, the Clamp range can
measure currents from 100 mA to 800 A and is available with
current or voltage outputs.
The Clamp complies with the safety standards EN61010-2-032
for input and output circuits.
Symbols
The table below lists the symbols used on the Clamp and/or in
this manual.

Safety Instructions
Please read this section carefully. It will make you familiar with
the most important safety instructions for handling the Clamp. In
this instruction sheet, a Warning identifies conditions and actions
that pose hazard(s) to the user. A Caution identifies conditions
and actions that may damage the Clamp or the test instruments.
WX Warning
The Clamp may only be used and handled by
qualified personnel. To avoid electric shock or
personal injury, follow these precautions:
•Do not use the Clamp if damaged. Always
connect to display device before it is installed
around the conductor.
•If the Clamp is not used as specified by the
manual, protection provided by the Clamp may
be impaired.
•Do not clamp around a conductor before
connecting current to the measuring
equipment.
•Do not disconnect the output from the
measuring equipment while the Clamp is still
around a conductor.
•Connect the Clamp output to measuring
equipment having safety receptacles.
•Do not use prior to consulting local and
national safety codes and use of protective
equipment is recommended.
•Do not hold the Clamp beyond the tactile
barrier.
•Before each use, inspect the Clamp. Look for
cracks or missing portions of the housing or
output cable insulation. Also look for loose or
weakened components. Pay particular attention
to the insulation surrounding the jaws. Open
and close the Clamp, noting detent action
indicating proper mechanical operation of
SIACTM anti short circuit feature.
•Use caution when working with voltages above
60 V dc, 30 V ac rms or 42 V ac peak. Such
voltages pose a shock hazard.
•Do not use Clamp in wet environments or in
locations that hazardous gases exist.

SIAC ™ (Security Internal Anti Short Circuit)
SIACTM (Security Internal Anti Short Circuit), patent applied for,
provides protection against short circuits between adjacent
primary conductors when clamped around conductors. This
mechanism ensures that the magnetic circuit separates at the
bottom of the jaw prior to the jaw opening at the top.
A detent action produced by SIAC™can be felt when opening
the jaws. This detent action should always be present in use.
If the jaws open smoothly, service is indicated and the Clamp
should be inspected at the nearest Fluke Service Center. See
“Contacting Fluke”.
Operating Instructions
WX Warning
To avoid electric shock or personal injury when
using the Clamp:
•Ensure that your fingers are behind the tactile
barrier as shown in Figure 1.
•Do not use the Clamp if any part, including the
lead and connector(s), appears to be damaged
or if a malfunction of the instrument is
suspected.
•Clamp around the current carrying conductor
ensuring good contact between the jaw faces.
Center the cable between the Clamp jaws.
Note
The arrow on the labels shows the direction of the
current flow form the source to the lead. In order to have
a correct phase relationship between the primary
current and the clamp output, care must be taken
regarding the direction of current flow.
1. Connect the Clamp output connectors between the
common and the appropriate current input jack of a
suitable meter, then switch the meter on.
2. Select a 20 mA ac or greater current range.
3. Clamp the probe around the current-carrying conductor
to be measured (see Figure 1). Make sure the probe
jaws are tightly closed around the conductor.

Note
Wire size and the position of the wire within the probe
jaws does not affect measurement accuracy.
4. Multimeter readings displayed in milliamps (mA) can be
read directly as amperes of conductor current. Readings
displayed in amperes (A) must be multiplied times 1000
to obtain the amperes of conductor current.

Figure 1. Current Measurement
Meter Readings
When the Clamp is connected to a compatible current meter and
clamped around a single current-carrying conductor, the meter
reading will be one 1000th of the actual current in the conductor.
For example, a 5 A input current will be transformed into a 5 mA
output current (see Figure 1). When measuring current in an ac
line cord, the jaws should be clamped around only one conductor
(the black or hot wire in a three wire cord). If the jaws are
clamped around both current carrying conductors, the currents
will cancel and produce a zero reading. If the probe is clamped
around two wires carrying current in the same direction, the sum
will be read. Reversing one of the wires causes the difference to
be read.
Low-Level Current Measurement
The Clamp is specified to measure currents of 100 mA or
greater. Currents less than 100 mA will produce meter readings
that are below the true value. Low-level currents can be
measured by looping the input wire through the jaws so that the
sum of the current through the jaws is greater than 100 mA. The
actual current can then be calculated by dividing the meter
reading by the number of turns looped through the jaws. For
example, to measure a current of 40 mA (0.04 A), form a 10-turn
loop and clamp the jaws around all 10 turns. The meter reading
will be 400 mA, which corresponds to a primary current of 4 A.

The actual current in the conductor is 400 mA divided by 10-
turns, or 40 mA.
Maintenance
Performance Test
Verify Probe accuracy by measuring the output of a 20 A (±0.2
%), 60 Hz current source (Fluke 5100B and 5220A or
equivalent). When used with a compatible DMM with ± 0.75 % or
better ac current accuracy (Fluke 8060A or equivalent), the probe
should measure 20.00 A ± 0.40 A (20.00 mA, ± 0.40 mA). There
are no calibration adjustments in the Clamp.
Cleaning
Clean the case periodically by wiping it with a damp cloth and
detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Do not
immerse the Clamp in liquids.
