4. Dimensions 1. Technical Features

Flex clamps range provides us with the ability to measure
alternating current in any installation.
Thanks to the flexibility of these current transducers, one or diverse
conductors can be embraced, regardless their shape (insulated
cables, busbar trunking systems, tubes, etc.), to execute current
measuring actions.
Some of the main characteristics of Flex current clamps A 1099, are
below enumerated:
• Direct connection to 1 V AC input on measuring device, and
optional connection to other meters (data logger, multi-meters,etc.).
2 m cable lenght
• Wide measuring range (from 30 A to 3000 A).
• mV output.
• Bandwidth adapted to industrial frequencies and harmonic
analysis purposes.
• High accuracy.
116 mm
• Total rejection of d.c. component.
• Friendly use of the closing - opening system (even if wearing
gloves) due to its highly ergonomic design.
• Anti frau closing system.
68,5 mm 30 mm
• Very light, flexible and fully adaptable to busbar trunking system
and insulated cables.
• Strengthened security, regardless the working environment:
industrial or services.
• Large autonomy of the signal amplification system.
