The LongLife AmpFlex is a flexible AC current probe composed of a flexible sensor and an electronic module. The flexible sensor permits measurements on conductors where standard clamp-on probes could not be used. In particular, it can be installed in tight spaces, around breaker panels, around cable bundles, around wide or large bus bars, or even wrapped around irregular shapes. The Shape Memory feature enables the user to "pre-shape" the sensor, somewhat, before inserting it between or around conductors. This feature facilitates closings, enhances user safety, and alleviates the drooping effect typically associated with flexible sensors.
The LongLife AmpFlex is lightweight. It does not use magnetic cores like standard transformers. The transformation principle is based on an air core. It presents virtually no load to the system under test, has a low phase shift and excellent frequency response, and cannot be damaged by overloads. The sensor assembly is waterproof and insulated for 1000V Cat. III.
The LongLife AmpFlex has a mV output proportional to the current measured for direct readings on DMMS, data loggers and oscilloscopes. TRMS measurements are taken when connected to a TRMS meter. The LongLife AmpFlex is insensitive to DC currents and only the AC component of the measured signal is measured.
