Overview of the AEMC MN261 High Sensitivity Current Probe
The MN261 is a high sensitivity probe with voltage outputs (100mV/A and 10mV/A) and two selectable current ranges of 0.1 to 24A and 0.5 to 240A AC. It is designed to meet even the most stringent demands in industrial and electrical contracting. The MN261 meets EN 61010, 600V, Cat. II safety standards and is CE Marked and UL approved in both Canada and the United States. The probe has a 0.78” (20mm) jaw opening and can accommodate conductors up to 250MCM. The MN261 features a unique hooked jaw design which allows it to securely clamp onto conductors. The MN261 is perfect for use with oscilloscopes and any other BNC terminated instruments.
