Hioki's clamp type AC/DC current sensors can be connected directly to Hioki Power Analyzers and Memory HiCorders. Also, it can be connected to Power Meters, Oscilloscopes, DMMs, etc. by using an optional sensor unit.
Note: Use with an instrument with a high input impedance of 1 MΩ or higher.

Accurate current measurement across a broad operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C
Temperature characteristics are an issue for current sensors that can manage DC current. The CT6840A series uses the flux gate detection method. Unlike the standard Hall element detection method, the flux gate method is more resistant to temperature variations, allowing instruments to accurately measure current in a variety of test environments.
Compatible with the Power Analyzer PW8001’s automatic phase correction function
The CT6840A series provides automatic phase correction for automatically correcting current sensor phase just by connecting to the Power Analyzer PW8001. This function automates configuration of phase correction values, a process that previously had to be carried out manually, eliminating settings errors and facilitating accurate power measurement. (All current sensors have phase characteristics, and the Power Analyzer performs phase correction so that power can be measured accurately.)
