CH 2/ Voltage Measurement Cables and Current Probe Connections

Several Dranetz-BMI current probes can be used with the Energy Platform. Typical 

current probes are illustrated on page 2-10. Refer to Appendix A for descriptions and 

part numbers of probes and adapter cables. Refer to Appendix B for specifications of 

current probe models TR2500, TR2510, DRANFLEX 3000XL/6000XL, and 

DRANFLEX 3003XL/6003XL.

Probe positioning: An arrow marking on the handle is a guide to ensure that you 

position the probe with the arrow pointing towards the load when monitoring the line 

conductor. Correct position of the probe is necessary for correct power measurements, 

where in-phase voltage and current measurements are necessary. A positive watts 

reading indicates that the probe is pointed towards the load, and a negative reading 

indicates that the probe is pointed towards the source.
