Handling Precautions
Precautions for Product Storage
Current sensors should be stored in normal working environments. While the sensors are quite robust in other
environments, exposure to high temperatures, high humidity, corrosive atmospheres, and long-term storage
degrade solderability.
KEMETrecommendsthatmaximumstoragetemperaturenotexceed75°C,andthatatmospheresshouldbefreeofchlorine
andsulfur-bearingcompounds.Temperatureuctuationsshouldbeminimizedtoavoidcondensationontheparts.Avoid
storagenearstrongmagneticelds,astheycanmagnetizetheproductandcauseitscharacteristicstochange.
The stock of current sensors should be used within 24 months of receipt.
Before Using High Alternating Current Sensors, Snap-on Type
• Do NOT drop or apply any other mechanical stress, as such stresses may change performance characteristics.
• Conduct a preliminary study when heating by current conduction (required).
• Do NOT use the high alternating current sensors, snap-on type, opened between secondary output terminals. Heat build-
up in the magnetic core may occur, resulting in damage to the parts by coil melting.
• Installatroomtemperature.Open/closeoperationatbelow5°Cmaybreakhingeofthecase.
