Just got a Fluke 376 amp probe . This has a flexible current probe . Would like to install this in a panel and occasionally come back and plug in the meter to take a current reading . ...
I looked at the manual. The sensor output is not a current, it is a voltage. It is not a CT. There is no concern about grounding the secondary.
Since the current probe is acting as a current transformer with a saturable core, you should not have a dangerous voltage across the open circuited secondary. ...
GD - I'm not familiar with "saturable core CT". How is it you know this is the probe construction? It is not a hall effect (won't measure DC Amps). I would guess it is a Rogowski coil.
Was going to leave the cover on and have the end of the probe hanging down below just acessible to plug in the meter .
That should work fine. As suggested measure the voltage. - I have two guesses:
1. Less than 2.5V.
2. The book shows three connectors to the input. It is not a rogowski and the third connector is for input power. if so, if not plugged into the meter, output is 0V.
Just non-random guesses - worth about what you paid for them :roll:
