Description; Clamping The Cable - Chauvin Arnoux F 15 Manual De Instrucciones

The functions and the display are described succinctly below so that you can
familiarise yourself with your clamp.
The following chapter " Operating procedures " explains each function in detail.

CLAMPING THE CABLE

Jaws
They enclose the cable to measure currents.
The jaw mechanism has a non-pinch design.
The red colour has been chosen to identify the potentially dangerous zone on
current measurement.
Centreing marks
Three marks indicate the reference position of the conductor within the
magnetic circuit.
The carefully designed form of the magnetic circuit offers a high clamping
capacity and satisfies the majority of applications with high currents.
A 2 busbars 50 x 5 mm
B 2 cables Ø 25 mm
C cable Ø 42 mm
Reminder: The clamp must only enclose 1 phase conductor, which can
physically be subdivided into 2 smaller cross-sections. In principle, the clamp
can not measure current in a conductor that includes the phase cable and the
neutral cable.
Guard
When clamped on a cable, the non-slip guard, around the outside of the clamp,
protects the user from accidental contact with an uninsulated conductor.
