AC/DC Current Probe
Model MR411
The AEMC® MR Series AC/DC Probes
are professional AC/DC current
probes designed to extend current
measuring capabilities of DMMs,
oscilloscopes and other instruments.
They are built to the latest safety and
performance standards, including the
CE Mark and UL approval. Two
different hook-shaped jaws are
offered, both permitting the user to
“pry” or “hook” onto cables (will
accept 2 x 500MCM) or even onto
small bus bars.
The MR Series probes use Hall effect
technology and measure AC and DC
current. The electronics and batteries
are self-contained in the handles. The
output of the AC/DC probes is 1mV/A
and 10mV/A. The Model MR411
measures to 400Aac/600Ad c . The
Model MR411 has two ranges and an
auto-zero push button (patent
pending) for quick DC zeroing.
There is no output filtering — True
RMS with DC component measure-
ments are possible. Phase shift is
excellent, making the MR Series of
current probes well suited for power
and power quality applications.
Features
• Measurement range of
400Aa c /600Ad c
• Measurement range of
1000Aa c /1500Ad c
• Distinct jaw shapes to be used for
hooking or prying around the
conductor

• Designed for DMMs, recorders,
oscilloscopes, power and
harmonic meters
• DoubleInsulation
• CE Mark
Applications
