When Model CT6844A, CT6845A, CT6875A, CT6875A-1, CT6846A, CT6876A(*1), CT6876A-1(*1) is used: 40, 100, 200, 400, 1000, 2000 A f.s.(f.s. =20div, Choice of 6 ranges)
The measurable range is limited by the current sensor connected. Check the specifications of the respective current sensor.
*1: The instrument recognizes this as a 500 A AC/DC sensor is connected; setting the ratio of the scaling function to 2 is required.
