Delivering Wide-bandwidth and High-precision Current Measurement
AC/DC CURRENT SENSOR CT6863
Description
Hioki pull-through AC/DC current sensors are best-in-class devices for use with power meters, Memory HiCorders and high performance oscilloscopes. The CT6863 is a DC to 500kHz/200A sensor, and this is ideal for capturing current signals from switching power supplies, inverters, power conditioners, etc.
CAT III 1000 V
Key Features
• Super high precision, ±0.05% amplitude accuracy, ±0.2° phase accuracy
• Applications in the fields of electric and hybrid electric vehicles
• Wide operating temperature range fit for automobile applications
• Ideal for evaluation of solar power generation and fuel cells to measure battery charge and discharge and the secondary side of inverters
• For observing waveforms to be used with the oscilloscopes or Memory HiCorders (use with SENSOR UNIT)
