AC Current Probe (Lead - 10mV/A - 240A max)
The MN253 is a general-purpose AC current probe with voltage output. It is designed for use with DMMs or with measuring instruments with voltage inputs. These probes permit the measurement or recording of current with instruments without current ranges. The voltage output is proportional to the current measured (through the jaws). The MN253 offers a voltage output of 10mV per amp measured. The MN291 has integral 5 ft (1.5m) leads terminated by shrouded banana plugs.
The Model MN253 is the latest in compact AC current probes. It is designed to meet the most stringent demands in industry and electrical contracting. Model MN253 meets EN 61010, 600V, Cat. III safety standards and is CE Marked and UL approved.
The Model MN253 has a 0.78" (20mm) jaw opening and accommodates conductors up to 250MCM. The unique hooked jaw design facilitates clamping and hooking onto conductors. Polycarbonate materials and ultrasonic welding are used throughout to ensure ruggedness and overall lasting reliability.
The Model MN253 uses tape-wound cores to further improve its high and low-end performance. Rated at 200Arms it has a measurement range to 240Arms.
Applications:
- Measuring in breaker panels
- Industrial loads
- HVAC
- Residential and commercial sites
- Data logging/recording
