The AEMC Ampflex Flexible Sensors 36″ refers to a series of flexible AC current probes manufactured by AEMC Instruments. These probes are designed to measure AC current in conductors where traditional clamp-on meters cannot easily fit, such as around large bundles of wires, bus bars, or in tight spaces. The “36″” in the name indicates the length of the flexible sensor loop, which is 36 inches (approximately 91 cm).

Key Features of AEMC Ampflex Flexible Sensors:
- Flexibility: The Rogowski coil design allows the sensor to be easily wrapped around conductors of various shapes and sizes
- Wide Current Range: Different models offer a broad range of measurement capabilities.
- Accuracy: Generally provide accurate readings, typically around ±1% of the reading (this can vary by model and range).
- Safety: Insulates the user from dangerous voltages in the circuit being measured.
- No Core Saturation: Unlike traditional current transformers, Rogowski coils do not have a magnetic core that can saturate, allowing them to measure high currents without distortion.
