    Measurement categories (Overvoltage categories)This device conforms to the safety requirements for CAT II(600V), CAT III (300V) measurement instruments.To ensure safe operation of measurement devices, IEC 61010establishes safety standards for various electrical environments,categorized as CAT I to CAT IV, and called measurementcategories. These are defined as follows.CAT I : Secondary electrical circuits that are connected to a wall

    outlet through a transformer or similar instrument.CAT II : Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to a

    wall outlet via a power cord (portable tools, householdappliances, etc.)

    CAT III : Primary electrical circuits of heavy equipment (fixedinstallations) connected directly to the distributionpanel, and feeders between the distribution panel andoutlets.

    CAT IV : The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance,then to the power meter and to the primary overcurrentprotection instrument.

    Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environmentswith greater momentary energy. So a measurement devicedesigned for CAT III environments can endure greater momentaryenergy than a device designed for CAT II.Using a measurement device in an environment designated with ahigher-numbered category than that for which the device is ratedcould result in a severe accident, and must be carefully avoided.Never use a CAT I measuring device in CAT II, III, or IVenvironments.The measurement categories comply with the OvervoltageCategories of the IEC60664 Standards.

    CAUTION Before turning on the power, make sure that the voltageof the power supply being used matches the supplyvoltage indicated on the rear panel of the 3269 or 3272.

    NOTE

    3.2 Preparations for Measurement(1) Have the 3269 or 3272 POWER SUPPLY, and oscilloscope or

    recorder for waveform measurement ready.

    The output of this device is terminated internally. Use a high-impedance input to the measuring instrument. With an inputimpedance of 50 Ω, accurate measurement is not possible.Depending on the current value being measured, there are casesin which two CLAMP ON PROBEs cannot be usedsimultaneously on the 3272. Power consumption on the CLAMPON PROBE depends on the current value being measured.

    (2) Turn the power switch off and connect the power cord.(3) Connect the power plug of the 3274 to the power receptacle of the

    3269 or 3272.

    (4) Turn the 3269 or 3272 power switch on, and check that the frontpanel power indicator lights.

    Conductor

    Check that the conductor being measured is not clampedwhen supplying power to the 3274 for the same reason.Demagnetized waveforms are generated when supplyingelectric power.

    3.3 Demagnetizing and Zero Adjustment(1) With the waveform measurement instrument input at ground,

    adjust the trace to the zero position.

    (2) Set the input coupling of the waveform measurement instrumentto DC.

    (3) Connect the output connector of the 3274 to the input connectorof the waveform measurement instrument. Turn the collar until itclicks, and check that it is locked securely.

    3.4 Measurement Procedure

    (4) Before clamping a conductor, confirm that the clamp can besecurely closed: press the slider until UNLOCK is no longerdisplayed, and hold it until LOCK appears.

    (5) Press the demagnetizing switch (DEMAG) on the terminator.

    (6) Turn the zero adjustment dial on the terminator, to adjust the traceto the zero position.

    (1) Check that the system is safe, and that the preparations describedin the preceding section have been carried out.

    (2) Pull the sensor slider, so that the clamp opens.

    (3) Align the sensor so that the current direction indicationcorresponds to the direction of current flow through the conductorto be measured, and clamp so that the conductor is in the centerof the sensor aperture.

    (4) Press the slider on the sensor head until the "UNLOCK"indication disappears, and hold it until LOCK appears, and checkthat the opening lever is firmly locked and the clamp securelyclosed.

    (5) It is now possible to monitor the current waveform. The outputrate of the 3274 is 0.01 V/A. The current sensitivity can bederived from the voltage sensitivity of the waveform measurementinstrument. For example, if the voltage sensitivity is 10mV/division, the current sensitivity is 1 A/division.

    NOTE The output of this device is terminated internally. Use awaveform measurement instrument with an input impedance of atleast 1 MΩ.

    Immediately after powering on, this device may be subject to anappreciable offset drift due to the effect of self-heating. Tocounteract this, allow the device to warm up for about 30minutes before carrying out measurement.

    When performing continuous measurements, it is necessary to beaware that the offset voltage drifts, depending on factors such asthe ambient temperature.

    Under certain circumstances, oscillation may occur if the probe isconnected to the 3269 or 3272 POWER SUPPLY while thepower supply is on. This does not indicate a malfunction.Oscillation can be stopped and operation restored to normal byopening and closing the clamp.

    Acoustic resonance may occur depending on the level andfrequency of the measured current. This does not normally affectmeasurements unless a foreign substance such as dust is presenton the contact surfaces of the sensor head.

    The reading may be affected by the position within the clampaperture of the conductor being measured. The conductor shouldbe in the center of the clamp aperture.

    When carrying out measurement, press the slider on the sensorhead until the "UNLOCK" indication disappears, and hold it untilLOCK appears, and check that the opening lever is firmly lockedand the clamp securely closed. Correct measurements cannot beperformed unless the clamp is securely closed and the slider ispressed until LOCK is displayed.

    Power source Load

    High

    Low

    At high frequencies, common mode noise may affectmeasurements taken on the high voltage side of circuits. If thisoccurs, reduce the frequency range of the waveform measuringinstrument, or clamp onto the low-voltage side of the circuit, asappropriate.

    When power is turned on, a demagnetizing waveform is initiallyapplied to the output: this is intentional in the design, and not afault.Accurate measurement may be impossible in locations subject tostrong external magnetic fields, such as transformers and high-current conductors, or in locations subject to strong externalelectric fields, such as radio transmission equipment.
