Hioki

CT6873 – AC/DC Current Sensor. Cable length: 3 m (9.84 ft.)
CT6873-01 – AC/DC Current Sensor. Cable length: 10 m (32.81 ft.)

Overview

Hioki’s pass-through 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.

The CT6873 has a frequency bandwidth of DC to 10 MHz and a rated current of 200 A. It is used for R&D, quality evaluation, manufacturing, and maintenance in markets such as wireless charging systems, inverter motors for industrial equipment, power conditioners for PV, and quick charging facilities for EVs.

Use with an instrument with a high input impedance of 1 MΩ or higher.

Key Features

  • Super high accuracy (amplitude): [DC]±0.032 %, [50 Hz/60 Hz]±0.037 %
  • Super high accuracy (phase): [50 Hz/60 Hz]±0.05°
  • Wide-bandwidth DC to 10 MHz excellent frequency characteristics
  • Applications in the fields of electric and hybrid electric vehicles
  • Wide operating temperature range(-40°C to 85°C) fit for automobile applications
  • Ideal for evaluation of solar power generation and fuel cells to measure battery charge and discharge and the secondary side of inverters
  • For observing waveforms to be used with the oscilloscopes or Memory HiCorders (use with Sensor Unit)
