Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use - Part 2-032: Particular requirements for hand-held and hand-manipulated current sensors for electrical test and measurement (IEC 61010-2-032:2012)
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 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.

Règles de sécurité pour appareils électriques de mesurage, de régulation et de laboratoire - Partie 2-032: Exigences particulières pour les capteurs de courant, portatifs et manipulés à la main, de test et de mesure électriques (CEI 61010-2-032:2012)
La CEI 61010-2-032:2012 spécifie les exigences de sécurité pour les capteurs de courant PORTATIFS et manipulés à la main décrits ci-dessous. Ces capteurs de courant sont conçus pour mesurer, détecter ou injecter du courant, ou représenter les formes d'onde du courant sans ouverture physique du chemin du courant sur le circuit mesuré. Les capteurs de courant peuvent être autonomes, ou accessoires d'autres appareils ou parties d'appareils combinés (voir la Figure 101). Cela comprend les circuits de mesure qui font partie des appareils électriques d'essai et de mesure, du matériel de laboratoire, des appareils électriques de laboratoire ou des appareils de contrôle de procédés industriels. L'existence de ces capteurs de courant et circuits dans les appareils nécessite des moyens de protection supplémentaires entre le capteur de courant, le circuit et un OPERATEUR. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2002. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'année précédente: a) Un nouveau Type D de capteur de courant a été défini. b) La terminologie pour la CATEGORIE DE MESURE I a changé. Dans la présente Partie 2-032, elle est dite 'non ASSIGNEE pour mesure en CATEGORIES DE MESURE II, III ou IV'. c) Les exigences pour les marquages des BORNES des circuits de mesure et des MACHOIRES ont été modifiées. d) Des DISTANCES D'ISOLEMENT et des LIGNES DE FUITE ont été ajoutées pour les BORNES non connectées des circuits de mesure. e) Des exigences ont été ajoutées pour les BORNES spécialisées des circuits de mesure. f) L'essai de traction sur les capots d'extrémité des capteurs de courant flexibles a été revu. g) Les exigences pour les cordons des circuits de sortie ont été revues. h) Des exigences ont été ajoutées pour les limites de température et la tenue à la chaleur pour empêcher les DANGERS thermiques dus aux courants de Foucault et aux courants élevés. i) Les exigences pour les circuits ou composants utilisés comme dispositifs de limitation contre les SURTENSIONS TRANSITOIRES ont été revues. j) Des exigences ont été ajoutées pour l'indication de batterie faible. k) Des exigences relatives aux MAUVAIS USAGES RAISONNABLEMENT PREVISIBLES de circuits de test et de mesure ont été revues et ajoutées, y compris l'utilisation du capteur de courant pouvant causer un arc électrique. l) Des exigences pour les circuits de mesure RESEAU ont été ajoutées. m) Les exigences pour empêcher les DANGERS dus aux courts-circuits ont été revues et placés dans un nouvel Article 102. n) Les ESSAIS INDIVIDUELS DE SERIE ont été modifiés. o) Les exigences d'isolation des circuits de mesure sont situées principalement dans l'Annexe K. p) Une Annexe AA décrivant les caractéristiques des CATEGORIES DE MESURE a été ajoutée. q) Une Annexe BB décrivant les DANGERS qui peuvent être rencontrés lors de l'utilisation de circuits de test et de mesure a été ajoutée.
Varnostne zahteve za električno opremo za meritve, nadzorovanje in laboratorijsko uporabo - 2-032. del: Posebne zahteve za ročne in ročno vodene tokovne senzorje za električno preskušanje in meritve (IEC 61010-2-032:2012)
Ta del standarda IEC 61010 določa varnostne zahteve za spodaj navedene ROČNE in ročno vodene tokovne senzorje. Ti tokovni senzorji so namenjeni za merjenje, zaznavanje ali priključitev toka ali določanje oblik toka na tokokrogih, ne da bi bilo treba fizično odpreti tokovne poti tokokroga, na katerem se izvaja meritev. Tokovni senzorji so lahko samostojni ali priključki k drugi opremi ali delom sestavljenih sistemov. Ti zajemajo merilne tokokroge, ki so del električne preskusne in merilne opreme, laboratorijske opreme ali opreme za vodenje procesa. Ker so ti tokovni senzorji in tokokrogi del opreme, je potrebno dodatno zaščitno sredstvo med tokovnim senzorjem, tokokrogom in UPRAVLJAVCEM. Tokovne senzorje je treba pred preskusom ali meritvijo ali po njiju upravljati ročno, vendar jih med preskusom ali meritvijo ni vedno treba DRŽATI V ROKI. Ta standard zajema naslednje vrste tokovnih senzorjev: a) tip A: tokovni senzor, ki je zasnovan tako, da se NEIZOLIRANI NEVARNI FAZNI vodniki zaobidejo ali izvzamejo. Tokovni senzorji tipa A imajo opredeljene ROČNE ali ročno vodene dele, ki zagotavljajo zaščito pred električnim udarom iz vodnika, na katerem se izvaja meritev, ter zaščito pred kratkimi stiki med kabli in zbiralkami med vpenjanjem. b) Tip B: tokovni senzor z zaščito pred kratkimi stiki med kabli in zbiralkami med vpenjanjem, vendar brez opredeljenih ROČNIH ali ročno vodenih delov, ki zagotavljajo zaščito pred električnim udarom med vpenjanjem. Da se prepreči električni udar iz NEVARNIH FAZNIH vodnikov, ki jih med uporabo ali odstranitvijo tokovnega senzorja ni mogoče električno ločiti, so potrebna dodatna zaščitna sredstva. PRIMER 1: prožni tokovni senzorji. c) Tip C: tokovni senzor brez zaščite pred kratkimi stiki med kabli ali zbiralkami med vpenjanjem. Tokovni senzorji tipa C se lahko na NEIZOLIRANIH NEVARNIH FAZNIH vodnikih ali vodnikih neomejenih električnih tokokrogov namestijo ali z njih odstranijo samo, ko so električno ločeni. PRIMER 2: pretvorniki z razcepljenim jedrom. d) Tip D: tokovni senzor, zasnovan tako, da se izolirani vodniki ali vodniki omejenih električnih tokokrogov zaobidejo ali izvzamejo. Pri tokovnem senzorju tipa D zaščita pred kratkimi stiki med vpenjanjem ni potrebna in nima opredeljenih ROČNIH ali ročno vodenih delov, ki bi zagotavljali zaščito pred električnim udarom iz vodnika, na katerem se izvaja meritev. PRIMER 3: tokovne klešče za osciloskop in senzorji za merjenje uhajavih tokov.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
FOR MEASUREMENT, CONTROL AND LABORATORY USE –
Part 2-032: Particular requirements for hand-held and
hand-manipulated current sensors for electrical test and measurement
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
IEC 61010-1 specifies the safety requirements that are generally applicable to all equipment
within its scope. For certain types of equipment, the requirements of IEC 61010-1 will be
supplemented or modified by the special requirements of one, or more than one, particular
part 2s of the standard which are to be read in conjunction with the Part 1 requirements.
This Part 2-032 specifies the safety requirements that are generally applicable to HAND-HELD
and hand-manipulated current sensors (see Clause 1).
Part 2-030 specifies the safety requirements for testing and measuring circuits which are
connected for test or measurement purposes to devices or circuits outside the measurement
equipment itself.
Part 2-033 specifies the safety requirements for HAND HELD METERS that have a primary
purpose of measuring voltage on a live MAINS CIRCUIT.
Except for protective bonding, all requirements of Part 2-030 have been included into
Part 2-032. Equipment within the scopes of Part 2-030 and Part 2-032 are considered to be
covered by the requirements of Part 2-032. However, for equipment within the scope of both
Part 2-032 and Part 2-033, the two standards are to be read in conjunction.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
FOR MEASUREMENT, CONTROL AND LABORATORY USE –
Part 2-032: 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
Replacement:
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 may 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. The existence of these current sensors and circuits in equipment requires
additional protective means between the current sensor, the circuit and an OPERATOR.
NOTE 1 This part includes also the requirements of Part 2-030. Testing and measuring circuits that are not within
the scope of this part are considered to be covered by the requirements of Part 1 or other parts 2s of IEC 61010,
and then will also need to meet the requirements of these other parts with the exception of Part 2-030. Current
clamp meters and similar currents sensors that have a primary purpose of measuring voltage on a live MAINS
CIRCUIT are also within the scope of Part 2-033.
NOTE 2 Some current sensors are also known as current clamps and current probes.
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.
NOTE 3 Some current sensors designed for portable use can also be used for fixed installations.
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 hand-
manipulated parts providing protection against electric shock from the conductor being
measured, and also have protection against short-circuits between wires and busbars
