ACCESSORIES

8-10. Current Shunt (80J-10)

The 80J-10 current shunt extends ac or dc current measurement up to 10A continuous, or to 20A for one minute without overheating.

8-11. Current Probes (Y8100, Y8101, 80i-400 and 80i-600)

The current probes extend the ac and dc current measurement range. The Y8100 current probe uses the Hall effect to measure dc or ac current up to 200A (in two ranges) without electrical contact. The Y8101 is a low-cost, compact current probe which uses a transformer to measure ac current from 2A to 150A. The 80i-600 uses a transformer to measure ac current from 1A to 600A, and features a large jaw opening for industrial use. The Y8101, 80i-400 and 80i-600 measure ac current only.

8-12. High Voltage Probes (80K-6 and 80K-40)

The high voltage probes extend the dc and ac voltage measurement range while minimizing shock hazard. The 80K-6 has a range of 0 to 6000V dc or peak ac, with frequency response to 1 kHz; the 80K-40 has a range of 0 to 40,000V dc or peak ac, with frequency response to 60 Hz. As the probes use 1000:1 dividers, the probes have a high input impedance and cause minimal circuit loading. The probes are impedance matched for both ac and dc measurements. A plastic body protects the operator from the voltage being measured.

For best accuracy, the probes should be used with DMMs having 10 MΩ input impedance. This condition is satisfied by the 8842A in the 200V dc and 1000V dc ranges. The probes can also be used with the 8842A in the 200 mV dc, 2V dc, and 20V dc ranges if a 10 MΩ resistor is connected in parallel across the input terminals.
