Description
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 may be stand-alone current sensors or accessories to other equipment or parts of combined equipment. These include measurement circuits which are part of electrical test and measurement equipment, laboratory equipment, or process control equipment.
The existence of these current sensors and circuits in equipment requires additional protective means between the current sensor, the circuit and an OPERATOR. Current sensors require hand manipulation before or after a test or measurement, but do not necessarily need to be HAND-HELD during the test or measurement.
The following types of current sensors are covered:
a) Type A: a current sensor designed to be applied around or removed from UNINSULATED HAZARDOUS LIVE conductors. Type A current sensors have defined HAND-HELD or handmanipulated parts providing protection against electric shock from the conductor being measured, and also have protection against short-circuits between wires and busbars during clamping.
b) Type B: a current sensor which has protection against short-circuits between wires or busbars during clamping but without defined HAND-HELD or hand-manipulated parts which provide protection against electric shock during clamping. Additional protective means are necessary to avoid electric shock from HAZARDOUS LIVE conductors which cannot be deenergised during application or removal of the current sensor.
EXAMPLE 1 : Flexible current sensors.
c) Type C: a current sensor without protection against short-circuits between wires or busbars during clamping. Type C current sensors are intended to be applied to or removed from UNINSULATED HAZARDOUS LIVE conductors or from non-limited-energy circuit conductors only when they are de-energised.
EXAMPLE 2 : Split-core transducers.
d) Type D: a current sensor designed to be applied around or removed from insulated conductors or from limited-energy circuit conductors. A Type D current sensor does not need protection against short-circuits during clamping and has no defined HAND-HELD or hand-manipulated parts providing protection against electric shock from the conductor being measured.
EXAMPLE 3 : Current probes for oscilloscopes and earth leakage current detectors.

ATTENTION: Belgian registered standards (NBN EN or NBN HD) are generally
only available in English or French. Only the cover page is translated
and the document itself is in English or in French.
Very important notice: 98% of the text of the NBN EN 55XXX,
NBN EN 6XXXX comes from the IEC text which is NOT included.
