With the clamp meter AC currents of up to 1000 A AC can be measured easily. At the same time, voltages of up to 1000V AC / DC can be measured with the clamp meter. Thus, with the power current clamp, apparent power, reactive power and active power measurements up to 750 KW are possible. Another function of the clamp meter is the measurement of the inrush current. Many consumers have a tremendously high current at the moment of switch-on. With a conventional clamp meter such a measurement is not possible. For the clamp meter this is not a problem.
With the NCV (Not Connected Voltage) function of the clamp meter, it can be checked whether a voltage is applied to a line without performing a contacting measurement. This makes the work much easier for the user thanks to the clamp meter. In addition to the measuring function, the clamp meter can also be connected to a terminal via the Bluetooth interface. Via this Bluetooth interface, the measured data can be transmitted directly from the clamp meter to the terminal, where it can be logged, analyzed and sent.

*The temperature is the difference between the temperature of the operating conditions and the current ambient temperature.Example: Is the current ambient temperature greater than the temperature of the operating conditions (50°C / 122°F (current ambient temperature)) - (40°C / 104°F (operating temperature)
= 10°C / 50°FIs the current ambient temperature less than the temperature of the operating conditions (0°C (operating temperature)) - (-5°C / 23°F (current ambient temperature))
