AEMC digital FlexProbe 400D and 4000D current measurement

AEMC has released the Digital FlexProbe series for TRMS AC current measurements. The devices are rated at 600 V CAT IV and provide a useful solution for accessing electrical conductors in tight places. There are two models available: the 400D, with either a 6 or 10″ sensor, has a measurement range starting at 20 mA and is designed for work in residential, commercial and light industrial applications. It can be used to check electrical distribution systems up to 400 A.

The 4000D, available with a 14″ sensor, has a measurement range starting at 100 mA and can be used on higher-power industrial installations, as well as electrical utilities for measurements up to 4000 A.

FlexProbe is simple to use: two buttons start the instrument, deactivate the auto power-off, hold the value on the display or store the maximum value (max hold). The values are read directly on the built-in 4000-count display. They are ergonomically designed for comfortable handheld use even when bulky gloves are required. The optional articulating, magnetic Multifix mounting system accessory makes it simple to hang on a wall, door or table edge, or it can be clipped onto a belt.

Features include: measurement from 20 m AAC to 4000 A (model dependent), available with 6, 10 and 14″ sensor lengths, resolution down to 1 mA (model dependent), auto-ranging, hold feature, direct reading, flexible current sensor, true RMS, safety rating of 600 V CAT IV, sensor diameter 1.77 to >3.94″.

The FlexProbe devices are designed for applications such as measuring branch current in breaker panels, measurement of industrial loads, HVAC current measurements, residential and commercial site current monitoring and general AC current measurement.
