FlexProbe(R) Flexible Current Probe Models 24-3001 & 24-3002 Model 24-3001 The FlexProbe (R) 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.
