Kyoritsu KEW 8177 Leakage Clamp Sensor Key Features:

Leakage Current Measurement:

• The primary function of the Kyoritsu KEW 8177 is to measure leakage currents in electrical circuits. It is particularly useful for detecting and quantifying small currents that may indicate insulation or grounding issues.

Clamp Design:

• Featuring a clamp design, this sensor allows non-contact measurements around a conductor without the need for direct electrical contact. This enhances user safety and makes it convenient to measure currents in tight spaces.

Wide Measurement Range:

• The sensor may have a wide measurement range, allowing it to capture a broad spectrum of leakage currents. This versatility ensures its applicability in various electrical systems.

Digital Display:

• Equipped with a digital display, the sensor provides clear and accurate readings of leakage current values. The digital format enhances visibility and facilitates easy interpretation of measurement results.

True RMS (Root Mean Square) Measurement:

• Some models may feature True RMS capabilities, ensuring accurate readings for both sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal waveforms. This is essential for applications where waveform distortion is present.

Hold Function:

• The hold function allows users to freeze and retain the displayed measurement value. This is particularly useful when recording measurements or working in locations where immediate reading retrieval may be challenging.

Auto Power Off:

• The auto power off feature conserves battery life by automatically shutting off the sensor after a period of inactivity. This ensures the availability of the sensor when needed and prolongs battery longevity.

Application in Power Quality Analysis:

• The sensor is valuable for power quality analysis, providing insights into leakage currents that may affect the overall quality of electrical power in a system.
