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

Easy Clip around operation

As the sense coil is clipped around the conductor, it creates a current pulse from DC

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.
