Chauvin Arnoux P01120028A Pliers Y2N LCA 500/0.5 content_copy

The Y2N current transformer clamp from Chauvin Arnoux is a robust measuring instrument for capturing alternating currents in the range of 4 A to 500 A. It is specifically designed for use in electrical installations rated up to CAT III 600 V and CAT IV 300 V. The clamp is suitable for measuring on cables with a maximum diameter of 30 mm and on busbars with dimensions up to 62×5 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in industrial and commercial electrical engineering.

Applications
The Y2N current transformer clamp is used in electrical installations where non-invasive current measurement is required. It is particularly useful in maintenance, servicing, and diagnostics of circuits, where direct interruption of the current flow is not possible or desired. The large encircling surface allows measurement on thick cables and busbars, which are commonly found in industrial or stationary installations.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The Y2N features a turns ratio of 1000/1, meaning that an input current of 500 A produces an output signal of 0.5 A. The typical measurement accuracy is ≤ 1 %, which is sufficient for precise measurements in technical installations. The output signal is an alternating current delivered via an integrated cable with an insulated connector (Ø 4 mm). This connector enables a safe and reliable connection to measuring instruments or recording devices.

Technology Explained Simply
The clamp is based on a magnetic circuit that detects the magnetic flux density of the flowing current and converts it into a proportional output signal. The high-quality design of the magnetic circuits ensures excellent linearity and minimal phase shift, enhancing measurement accuracy. The integrated overvoltage protection at the output protects the device and connected measuring instruments from transient voltage spikes that may occur during sudden load changes or short circuits.

Compatibility and Accessories
The Y2N current transformer clamp is designed for use with measuring instruments capable of receiving an alternating current signal via a 4-mm connector. Connection is made using the supplied cable. Devices in the Y model series are suitable for applications in electrical installations up to CAT III 600 V and CAT IV 300 V, enabling safe use in industrial and commercial environments.

Mounting and Installation
Installation is performed by simply clamping the conductor or busbar to be measured. The special shape of the clamp jaws allows for secure and stable positioning, even on irregular or larger conductors. No additional tools or mounting aids are required. The clamp can be attached directly to the conductor without interrupting the circuit.

Operational Advantages
The Y2N provides reliable and precise measurement of alternating currents without physically interrupting the circuit. The robust construction and integrated overvoltage protection increase the device's lifespan and safety. The large encircling surface enables measurement on wide busbars and thick cables, expanding the range of applications. The simple handling and direct connection via the 4-mm connector facilitate use in daily practice.

Scope of Delivery
The scope of delivery includes the Y2N current transformer clamp, the connection cable with 4-mm connector, and the operating instructions. These components are sufficient to put the device into operation immediately.
