AC/DC CURRENT PROBE CT6843-05

Consistent, High-precision Current Testing Across a
Wide Temperature Range

Hioki AC/DC clamp sensors are best-in-class current sensors
for use with power meters, Memory HiCorders and high
performance oscilloscopes. The CT6843 is DC to
500 kHz/200 A sensors, ideal for capturing signals
during the efficiency testing of batteries, inverters
and power conditioners.

Model No. (Order Code)

CT6843	200 A AC/DC, PL23 terminal
CT6843-05	200 A AC/DC, ME15W terminal

Note: These products cannot be used alone.
The optional SENSOR UNIT is required in order
to supply power and connect the clamp to a
Memory HiCorder or other instrument.
Products can be directly connected to the
compatible Power Meters and Power Analyzers.

Key Features

• Ideal for use in environmental testing with broad -40˚C to 85˚C temperature range
• High precision with a clamp-type design, ±0.3% amplitude accuracy, ±0.1° phase accuracy
• Wide-bandwidth DC to 500 kHz
• Single-handed operation and robust locking mechanism
• Reduced effects from magnetic fields, conductor position, and noise from nearby wires
• For EV/HEV battery charge and discharge efficiency measurement and inverter and power conditioner conversion efficiency evaluation

	High-accuracy current sensors ideal for use with oscilloscopes and power meters Compared to current sensors that use Hall elements, flux gate type current sensors are not prone to measurement error caused by variations in the external temperature. In addition, they can measure extremely low input (current values) and current waveforms with phase that lags by 90° with a high degree of precision. The CT6840 Series AC/DC Current Probes are ideal for measuring power waveforms with a digital oscilloscope and power meters.
