FlexProbe®Flexible Current Probe
Models 24-3001 & 24-3002
The FlexProbe®Models 24-3001 and
24-3002 are low cost AC current
measurement probes designed to
plug into digital multimeters,
oscilloscopes, and power recorders.
The Model 24-3001 is composed of a
flexible sensor and an electronic
module with a 14" double insulated
cable, while the Model 24-3002 has a
flexible sensor and an electronic
module with 4mm safety banana plugs
with 3/4" spacing. The flexible sensors
are designed to fit around large or
small conductors and are capable of
getting into tight or difficult places.
They are ideal for measuring AC
current in a group of conductors.
