PAC Series
AC/DC current clamp
DESCRIPTION
The PAC15 model accurately measures AC or DC currents by making use of the Hall effect
principle. This clamp with mV output is equipped with an automatic DC zero system and a
deactivatable Auto Power Off (APO) function. It can be powered by a standard mains power
pack via a Micro USB connector.
Bandwidth:
DC .. 30 kHz (-3 dB) (depending on current value)
Insertion impedance:
0.01 mΩ @ 400 Hz, 0.12 mΩ @ 1 kHz
Maximum currents:
3,000 A DC or 1,000 A AC permanent for a
frequency < 1 kHz (limitation proportional to the
reciprocal of one third of the frequency beyond that)
DC zero adjustment:
Automatic, by 40 - 60 mA increments
AC noise output:
≤ 1 mV peak-peak
Power supply:
9 V alkaline battery (NEDA 1604A, IEC 6LR61)

"ON" LED:
"Lit" = In operation & battery level OK
"Flashing" = remaining battery life < 4 hours
"Colour = green" = APO ON
"Colour = yellow" = APO OFF
"OL" LED:
Overload indication: current measured too high for
the calibre used
