AC Current Probe
Model MN106
Small, compact and very tough, the
Model MN106 is designed for meas-
urements from 2A to 150AAC. The
“clothes pin” shape makes it ideal for
use in tight areas, such as breaker
panels, controller panels or outlets. It is
an excellent companion to all DMMs.
Model MN106 works as a traditional
current transformer (with a ratio of
1000:1) and provides current outputs
(mA) for use with DMMs, recorders or
instruments with current ranges. The
Model MN106 permits True RMS
measurements when used with a True
RMS instrument.
