Selecting a Current Clamp
The EL-USB-ACT is compatible with most current clamps which
output an AC or DC mV signal proportional to the amount of
current the clamp is detecting. It is advisable to select a current
clamp which features 4mm banana plugs for quick connection to
the EL-USB-ACT; otherwise banana plugs must be manually tted
in order to connect to the data logger.
Please note that the maximum output voltage from the clamp
should not exceed 723V a.c. or 1000mV d.c.; an input to the data
logger above these values may damage the data logger. If you are
unsure of your choice of current clamp, please contact Lascar for
advice.
