AC Current
The following ac current specifications are for sinusoidal signals with amplitudes greater than 5 % of range. For inputs
from 1 % to 5 % of range, add an additional error of 0.1 % of range.
Input Protection....................................................... Tool accessible 11 A/1000 V and 440 mA/1000 V fuses, limits of
400 mA continuous 550 mA for 2 minutes on, 1 minute off.
Measurement Method ............................................. ac-coupled true-rms, dc-coupled to the fuse and shunt (no blocking
capacitor)
AC Filter Bandwidth
Slow .................................................................... 3 Hz to 10 kHz
Medium ............................................................... 20 Hz to 10 kHz
Fast..................................................................... 200 Hz to 10 kHz
Crest Factor Error (applies to non-sinusoidal waveforms only)
Maximum Crest Factor ....................................... 5:1 at full scale
Additional Crest Factor Errors (<100 Hz)............ Crest factor 1-2, 0.05 % of full scale
Crest factor 2-3, 0.2 % of full scale
Crest factor 3-4, 0.4 % of full scale
Crest factor 4-5, 0.5 % of full scale
