AC/DC Current Probes Models SL306 & SL361

AEMC^® Instruments Introduces NEW AC/DC Current Probes Models SL306 & SL361

The NEW AC/DC Current Probes Models SL306 & SL361 replace Models SL206 & SL261. These precision AC/DC current probes can measure currents without breaking the circuit in which they flow. They use Hall Effect technology to measure direct and alternating currents.

Both probes are equipped with key usability features, including a reset button, range overload indicator, power supply indicator and an automatic standby mode to extend battery life. Powered by a 9 V battery or external 5 VDC via micro-USB, and housed in a compact, ergonomic design, these probes are built for versatility. Their unique long, narrow-shaped nose allows them to access hard to reach places which makes them ideal for adapting to a range of measurement environments.

The Model SL306 probes are compatible with many millivolt measuring instruments featuring banana inputs, including multimeters, watt meters and recorders. It has two sensitivity sensors for measuring currents from 5 mA up to 60 AAC or 80 ADC. The Model SL361 can measure currents from 100 mA to 100 A peak and is compatible with oscilloscopes and meters providing accurate measurement and analysis of complex AC and DC signals. It’s ideal for capturing both low level and high energy waveform disturbances with confidence and clarity.
