The DCflex 'Snap-Shot' DC current measurement

The DCflex dc ammeter probe is an easy to use, economical, clip-around / split core DC current probe

It is ideal for the measurement of large DC currents from 2000A to greater than 300,000A, meaning that large dc currents in plating, chemical processes and aluminum smelting plant, can be verified - without system shutdown or installing shunts

The probe takes a single shot measurement of the dc current with a typical accuracy of better than 1%.  
 

  • Thin, flexible, clip-around coil in standard lengths of 1m and 2m.  4m coils possible.

  • Intrinsically safe, galvanically isolated measurement

  • Battery powered with integral LCD display, no need for external oscilloscopes or meters

  • Easy to use

  • System shutdown is not necessary

    How it works
    The Rogowski coil responds to a change of current from zero to the DC value flowing, determined by the user wrapping the coil around the conductor.  Once the user has performed this action the DC Flex's peak hold meter holds the dc measurement.  The signal conditioner-integrator is supplied with a meter and zero adjustment which is set before a measurement is made.  The DCFlex's instantaneous output provides a useful output for ripple measurement.

    When ordering please provide this information

    Maximum dc current
    Sense Coil length (or conductor cross sectional area)
    Cable length from sense coil to meter/integrator
    Insulation 10kV standard
    12Vdc, 24Vdc, 48Vdc power or 120Vac or 240Vac

    i.e. DCFlex 10000A D24 / 4 / 500 = 10000Adc, 24Vdc power, 4metre cable, 500mm sense coil (150mm dia)
