Measurement categories
(Overvoltage categories)
This product complies with CAT III safety requirements.
To ensure safe operation of measurement product, IEC 61010 establishes safety standards for various electrical environments, categorized as CAT I to CAT IV, and called measurement categories. These are defined as follows.
CAT I Secondary electrical circuits connected to an AC electrical outlet through a transformer or similar device.
CAT II Primary electrical circuits in equipment connected to an AC electrical outlet by a power cord (portable tools, household appliances, etc.)
CAT III Primary electrical circuits of heavy equipment (fixed installations) connected directly to the distribution panel, and feeders from the distribution panel to outlets.
CAT IV The circuit from the service drop to the service entrance, and to the power meter and primary overcurrent protection device (distribution panel).
Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments with greater momentary energy. So a measurement device designed for
CAT III environments can endure greater momentary energy than a device designed for
CAT II.

Chapter 1
Product Outline
1.1 Product Outline
The 3283 CLAMP ON LEAK HiTESTER is designed for wide-range measurement on live circuits, from very small leak currents up to load currents of 200 amperes. The clamp part is made of material with high magnetic permeability, to minimize adverse effects caused by external magnetic fields, and to reduce tolerances due to the position of the measured conductor.
1.2 Features
High-sensitivity range with 10 mA full-scale point
Allows accurate measurement even of minute leak currents (resolution 10μA).
Wide measurement range
Five range settings from 10 mA to 200 A make the 3283 suitable for many applications.
Microprocessor-controlled functions
In spite of the compact dimensions of the unit, versatile functions such as SLOW and MAX/MIN are made possible by the built-in microprocessor.
_____________________________________________
Chapter 1 Product Outline
True rms indication
The true rms conversion circuit delivers accurate results not affected by leak current distortion.
Filtering
The widespread use of switching power supplies and equipment incorporating inverter technology frequently causes harmonics to be superimposed in the leak current waveform. The filter in the 3283 allows two kinds of measurement, for leak current caused by insulation faults and for leak currents including harmonics.
Output jack
The output jack allows easy connection to a level recorder or other equipment (level recorder output: DC, waveform output: AC).
Unaffected by external magnetic fields and conductor position
The clamp sensor and magnetic shield are made of material with high magnetic permeability, allowing precise measurement also in the vicinity of transformers, electric motors and other sources of magnetic fields. Since the influence of the conductor position on the measurement result is negligible, residual current characteristics are not a problem even when using the unit as a zero-phase transformer.
Low power consumption
Power consumption is less than 100 mV A, allowing the unit to operate continuously for up to 40 hours on a single 6F22 (006P) battery.

Chapter 2 Measurement Procedure
NOTE
3. The effective value (
RMS
) of the leak current is shown on the digital display. The selected current range is shown at the bottom of the display.
Do not input current that exceeds the maximum continuous input of the electric current range.
Measurement may not be accurate in the cases below.
(1) When there is large current (of about 100
A) flowing through a nearby electric line
(2) When using the 3283 to measure special waveforms, such as those on the secondary side of an inverter
Note that a value of several tens of amperes may be displayed when opening or closing the clamp sensor, or when changing the electric current range. This is not an error. It may take some time for the display to return to zero.
However, starting measurement before the display returns to zero will not affect measurement.
_____________________________________________
Chapter 2 Measurement Procedure
【
Checking for insulation faults】
Normally, for a E (PE) grounding installation of a transformer, the measurement will first be made to check for overall circuit leak current in the ground lead (a). Current changes can be used to diagnose the leak current condition.
When leak current has been detected, the measurement should proceed from the power source towards the load, using overall measurement.
1. If an insulation fault in the wiring has occurred at position A in the illustration, leak current will be detected at position b using overall measurement, but not at position b'.
2. If an insulation fault in the load equipment has occurred at position B in the illustration, leak current will be detected at position c using overall measurement, but not at position c'.
3. For detection of intermittent leak current conditions (such as only when a certain piece of equipment is operating), the use of a level recorder will be helpful.

Troubleshooting
If the unit seems not to be working normally, check the following points first before requesting service.
Problem lights lights, followed by immediate power shutdown
Cause
The battery may be low or depleted
Action
Problems related to the power supply
Power will not turn on
Power shuts off during operation
The battery may be low or depleted
Replace it with a new battery
The battery snap terminal may be deformed, causing contact failure
Remove the battery, then use radio pliers to straighten the battery snap terminal
When the AC adapter is used, power is only supplied through the AC adapter
When using the battery, disconnect the
AC adapter.

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting
Problem Cause Action
Problems related to display
An error between E.001
and E.005 or
E.100 is displayed.
Internal memory may be damaged
Request repair
Problems related to the clamp sensor
The clamp sensor generates a sound during measurement
When large current or highfrequency current is measured, resonance may occur, generating a sound
Reclamp the conductor.
Measure microcurrent or lowfrequency current to determine whether a sound is generated
_____________________________________________
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting
Problem Cause Action
Problems related to output function
The output rate differs from the specification
The output is too low
The 200 A range is used
Check the electric current range. Unlike other ranges, the full scale of the
200 A range is 2
V/fs
The input impedance of the device used to receive output is too low
MON output is used for measurement at high frequency
Check the input impedance of the device used to receive output. We recommend input impedance of at least 100 k Ω
The guaranteed range of accuracy is 40
Hz to 2 kHz. The specified frequency band of 5 Hz to 15 Hz is a -3 dB band.
At 15 kHz, the amplitude is reduced to approximately
70%
