Preventing current probe damage and instructions for using current probes

Through the fault analysis of the damaged current probe, it is found that the parts of the probe that are prone to damage are roughly as follows:

1. A circuit board connected to the current amplifier;
2. The magnetic ring of the current probe is broken;
3. Magnetic ring coil of the current probe;
4. Visual damage to the sliding clip of the current probe;
5. The cable is broken.

Causes of current probe damage, methods to prevent damage and instructions for use The causes of damage to the above five parts can be summarized as follows:

1. After the current amplifier is powered on, plugging and unplugging the current probe may cause damage to the circuit board.
   Methods to prevent damage: - Remember not to plug and unplug the current probe when it is powered on
2. The magnetic ring is a fragile material. It is easy to break if it is dropped or used with excessive force. A damaged magnetic ring will cause inaccurate testing or failure to measure current.
   Methods to prevent damage and use: - Avoid dropping it or using it with excessive force when using it
3. The magnetic coil is relatively thin, and overcurrent will cause the coil to burn out.
   Methods to prevent damage: - Avoid overcurrent when using
4. Misalignment and cracks in the current clamp will cause inaccurate testing or failure to measure current. Note that you should be careful when pushing the clamp.
   Ways to prevent damage: - Align the current clamp when using it. Note that you should be careful when pushing the clamp.
5. The cable may be easily damaged if it is pulled or twisted too hard.
   To prevent damage: - Do not pull or twist the cable too hard during use.

The operation methods provided above are relatively simple and can be done with a little attention, but operators are often prone to neglect them in their busy and stressful work. Here we just draw the user's attention again.
