IEC 61010-2-032:2023 EXV

IEC 61010-2-032:2023 EXV contains both the international standard and its extended version (EXV). This extended version of the official IEC Standard is available in English only and provides the user with the comprehensive content of the Standard. IEC 61010-2-032:2023 EXV includes the content of the references made to IEC 61010-1:2010 and IEC 61010-1:2010/AMD1:2016.

IEC 61010-2-032:2023 specifies safety requirements for hand-held and hand-manipulated current sensors intended for measuring, detecting or injecting current, or indicating current waveforms on circuits without physically opening the current path of the circuit being measured. These current sensors are hand-manipulated before and/or after a test or measurement, but are not necessarily hand-held during the test or measurement. They can 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.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2019. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

2) in 6.6.101.2, clearances and creepage distances up to 3 000 V for measuring circuit terminals in unmated position have been defined;
3) in 6.6.101.3, requirements for measuring circuit terminals in partially mated position have been specified;
