Product design

Pearson clamp series products use an opening structure rather than a fixed aperture. When planning a test around an existing conductor, confirm the opening and closure arrangement and output connection, and follow the model instructions for conductor insulation and safe operation.

Measurement and application

AC and pulse current testing involves observing how a waveform changes over time as well as its amplitude. The transformer construction, conductor arrangement and output connection all influence the measurement setup.

Selection and connections

Prepare details of the conductor, available space, waveform and oscilloscope input. Installation requirements differ between fixed and opening structures; output cables and termination should follow the instructions for the selected model.
