Chauvin Arnoux MA194 Flexible Current Sensors
Make current measurements easier with the Chauvin Arnoux MA194 Flexible Current Sensors. Their flexible loops fit around conductors without opening the circuit, helping you take readings without disconnecting the cable. With three sizes and a 3-metre lead, you can choose the fit and reach that suit your setup.
Part of the MiniFlex range, these lightweight AC current sensors connect to a compatible Chauvin Arnoux analyser. Each version has a stated sensor range of 100 mA to 10,000 A, with the usable measurement range depending on the connected instrument.
Flexible Access and Simple Connection
The opening mechanism lets you position the loop around a conductor, then close it until it clicks into place. A shielded lead connects the sensor to the analyser through a dedicated four-pin plug.
The 3-metre lead gives you room to position the analyser away from the conductor being measured.
Choose the Right Sensor Length
Get the right fit for your installation with three MA194 MiniFlex sensor lengths, compatible with the Chauvin Arnoux PEL102, PEL103 and PEL104. Choose according to the conductor diameter and the space available around it:
- MA194-250: 250 mm sensing loop with a 70 mm clamping diameter.
- MA194-350: 350 mm sensing loop with a 100 mm clamping diameter.
- MA194-1000: 1000 mm sensing loop with a 320 mm clamping diameter for larger conductors.
The length options refer to the flexible sensing loop. Every version has a 3-metre connection lead, giving you room to position your analyser conveniently.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is the loop length the same as the clamping diameter?
A. No. For example, the 250 mm version has a clamping diameter of 70 mm. Use the clamping diameter when checking whether the sensor will fit around your conductor.
Q2: Which instruments can I use it with?
A. The manual specifies compatible Chauvin Arnoux C.A 8XXX and PEL family analysers. Compatibility varies by model, so check the analyser’s supported sensors before ordering.
