Product details
For easy and quick measurement of direct and alternating currents up to 600 A, the circuit does not need to be interrupted during measurement, unlike with multimeters. This device is perfectly suited for servicing machines in control cabinets and for measuring high currents in automotive and truck electrical systems.
The high-contrast OLED display with 6000 counts allows for exceptionally good readability in all lighting conditions. Especially in poorly lit control cabinets, this model outperforms conventional current clamps. The display shows 4-digit values up to 5999, regardless of the position of the decimal point.
If needed, a white LED can be activated to illuminate the area directly in front of the clamp. The two-component housing with integrated soft rubber protection makes the measuring device suitable for tough applications. The rubberized housing shell also ensures a secure grip.
The current clamp is equipped with a temperature measurement function using K-type thermocouples. The included air temperature sensor can be replaced with any VOLTCRAFT K-type thermocouple sensor to measure mixtures, liquids, or surfaces up to 1000 °C.
The TrueRMS measurement allows for accurate measurement of asymmetrical voltages and currents that deviate from the fundamental sine wave shape. Asymmetrical voltages often occur with power controllers such as dimmers, speed controllers, switched-mode power supplies, pulsed chargers, or electronic speed controllers in model building. Conventional average measuring devices can show very large measurement deviations in these measurement tasks. Special feature: OLED display.
