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 CT6875A has a frequency bandwidth of DC to 2 MHz (Model CT6875A-1 is DC to 1.5 MHz) and a rated current of 500 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.

Combined accuracy with HIOKI power analyzer PW8001, PW6001 and PW3390 is specified. For details of combined accuracy, refer to the instruction manual.
Strengthened shield improves noise resistance to accurately measure current buried in noise
Flat frequency characteristics and CMRR performance to achieve high accuracy measurement
More enhanced environmental resistance performance than ever before with operating temperature range of -40 to 85°C
Good frequency characteristics over wide band of DC to 2 MHz (amplitude) and DC to 1 MHz (phase)
Ideal for advanced fields such as photovoltaics and fuel cells to evaluate the charge / discharge of batteries and secondary side of inverters
Connect with oscilloscopes or Hioki Memory HiCorders (using SENSOR UNIT) to monitor waveforms

High-accuracy sensors uses the "zero flux method (flux gate detection type)." High-frequency currents are detected with the winding (CT method), and DC to low frequency currents are detected using a "flux gate."

Flux gate detection delivers outstanding linear properties, and can measure currents of a wide range of magnitudes with high accuracy.
The fluxgate components used for DC detection have very low offset over a wide temperature range due to their operating principle, resulting in high accuracy and excellent temperature stability. It is ideal for measurements that require high accuracy, such as Power analyzers and Power meters. It can be used for measurement such as inverter efficiency, inverter output power, reactor/transformer loss, and long-term DC measurements.

The CT6875A-1 has a frequency bandwidth of DC to 2 MHz (Model CT6875A-1 is DC to 1.5 MHz), which is top-class for a 500 A rated pass-through sensor. In combination with the Power Analyzer PW8001, high frequency and low power factor can be measured accurately.

To accurately measure high frequency and low power factor, it is important to correct phase errors. The PW8001 automatically acquires and corrects the phase of the current sensor with 0.001°resolution, bringing out the best performance of the current sensor without any effort.

The current sensor is equipped with a memory (I2C-EEPROM).
When the current sensor is connected to the Power Analyzer PW8001, the phase correction data, rated current, sensor's model name, and serial number are automatically recognized by the instrument.

In the past, phase correction values had to be entered manually.
However, thanks to the automatic detection system of current sensor information, forgetting settings and typing errors are eliminated, allowing for more accurate power calculations.
