1. PRESENTATION

1.1. GENERAL

MiniFlex® sensors take the form of a flexible coil connected by a shielded lead to a housing containing the signal processing electronics, powered by batteries.

The flexibility of the sensors facilitates the clamping of the conductor to be measured, whatever its nature (cable, bar, strand, etc.) and its accessibility. The design of the coil opening and closing device, by snap locking, allows handling while wearing protective gloves.

The electronic unit can be connected to the mVac or Vac input of a measuring instrument having an input impedance of ≥ 1 M .

1.2. SINGLE-PHASE MINIFLEX®

MiniFlex ^® series MA110 single-phase sensors constitute a line of three models, 17, 25, and 35 cm long, that convert alternating currents ranging from 3 to 3000 A into proportional AC voltages.

1.3. THREE-PHASE MINIFLEX®

The MiniFlex ^® series MA130 sensor converts alternating currents ranging from 30 to 3000 A into proportional AC voltages. It comprises 3 sensors 25 cm long connected to the electronic unit. The output is via 3 BNC connectors on which it is possible to place the adapters provided in order to obtain outputs with 2 safety plugs.

The three outputs of the electronic unit can be connected to a standard wattmeter (as auxiliary inputs), to multimeters, to a recorder, etc.

The multimeter or instrument connected must have a maximum voltage and a measurement category at least equal to those of the MiniFlex® sensor, since otherwise the maximum voltage and category of the assembly will be those of the lowest-rated component.

2. CURRENT MEASUREMENT

2.1. MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE

The sensors use the principle of the Rogowski coil.

The sensor used achieves:

■ very good linearity and no saturation effect (and so no overheating);
■ a wide measurement dynamic, up to several kA;
■ insensitivity to DC (measurement of the AC component of any AC + DC signal);
■ light weight (no magnetic circuit).

2.2. USE

2.2.1. CONNECTING THE MA110

Connect the output leads to a measuring instrument having an input impedance ≥ 1 M . Switch it on and set to AC voltage measurement.

text_image Diagram illustrating a medical procedure on a device, showing a cable being inserted into a device before and after treatment.

To optimize measurement quality, centre the conductor in the coil.

Set the switch of the electronic unit to the range providing the best sensitivity and check that the red OL indicator is off (saturation of the electronics entailing a measurement error).

Read the measurement on the multimeter, applying the reading coefficient indicated on the label on the electronic unit corresponding to the setting of the switch.

3 A\~ range 1000 mV\~/A\~

30 A\~ range 100 mV\~/A\~

300 A\~ range 10 mV\~/A\~

3000 A\~ range 1 mV\~/A\~

Multiply the reading by the coefficient.

For example, a reading of 1 V on the measuring instrument corresponds to a current of 1 V10 mV/A = 100 A in the 300 A\~ range.

2.2.2. DISCONNECTING THE MA130

Withdraw the flexible coil from the conductor, set the switch to OFF, and disconnect the electronic unit from the multimeter.

2.2.3. IDENTIFYING THE SENSORS OF THE MA130

To identify the sensors and the output leads, you can mark them with the coloured rings provided with the device.

    AutoPowerOff --> On((On))

While the external power supply is present, automatic power off is disabled. But if the supply is cut off, the batteries take over and automatic power off acts at the end of 10 minutes.

If you make long-duration records, you must deactivate automatic power off (see § 2.2.6).

The insulation between the type B micro-USB connector and the measurement output is 1000 V CAT III or 600 V CAT IV. That makes it possible to connect the device without risk to wattmeters having uninsulated inputs. The type B micro-USB connector must not be in contact with conductors or uninsulated parts at dangerous voltages
