How the DCFlex Works:
The DCFlex probe uses a Rogowski sense coil that responds to the change in current when the coil is clipped around the conductor. Once the coil is in place, the integrated peak-hold meter captures and holds the DC current measurement. A signal conditioner with a built-in meter and zero adjustment feature ensures accurate measurements, and the instantaneous output can be connected to an oscilloscope for AC ripple measurement.
