BS EN IEC 61010-2-032:2021+A11:2021 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use - Particular requirements for hand-held and hand-manipulated current sensors for electrical test and measurement
1 Scope and object
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows:
1.1.1 Equipment included in scope
Replace the existing text with the following:
This part of IEC 61010 specifies safety requirements for
hand - held and hand-manipulated current sensors described
below.
These current sensors are for measuring, detecting or injecting current, or
indicating current waveforms on circuits without physically opening the current
path of the circuit being measured. They can be stand-alone current sensors or
accessories to other equipment or parts of combined equipment (see Figure 101). These include measurement
circuits which are part of electrical test and measurement equipment, laboratory
equipment, or process control equipment. These current sensors and circuits need
additional protective means between the current sensor, the circuit and an
operator .
NOTE 1 Combined equipment is equipment that is electrically connected to a current
sensor by means of a permanent connection which can be detached only by the
use of a tool .
NOTE 2 Some current sensors are also known as current clamps,
