Figure 1: The P6021 Probe and termination
Attach the probe to the termination as shown in Figure 1.
An alligator-style ground clip is supplied to improve EMI rejection at high
frequencies (2 MHz and above). Snap the ground lead to the probe transformer
post and attach the alligator clip directly to RF ground. This will reduce ringing
and help bypass capacitively-coupled RF currents that can flow into the probe
cable.
WARNING. To avoid injury or equipment damage, remove power from an
uninsulated wire before clamping the current probe around it. When the probe
slides are open, the exposed ferrite core pieces are not insulated. Also, never
disconnect the probe from the termination when the probe is connected to a live
conductor.
To avoid damaging the probe, do not disconnect the probe termination and leave
the P6021 clamped around the conductor when measuring high currents.
Leaving the probe cable unterminated can cause a high voltage to develop in the
secondary winding, which may damage the current probe transformer.
