Large jaw opening and high-current measurement capability -
for installation and maintenance of high-current distribution systems and cables
Current measurements at power distribu-
tion sites can be challenging as cables are
usually large as they contain high current
sources. The need of current measure-
ment methods that are safe and easy add
complexity to the task of acquiring accurate
current data. Conventionally, a current
conductor has to be disconnected to allow
probe insertion and this is not only hazard-
ous when high currents are involved, but
not convenient as well.
With a two-inch (52 mm) jaw opening,
the U1210 Series handheld clamp meters
simplify current measurements for thick
cables, without breaking the circuit. The
clamp meters provide the ability to handle
big currents, with current measurement
capability of up to 1000 A (AC, DC,
AC+DC). This series also enables high
resolution measurements, with the ability
to measure currents as low as 0.01 A. You
are able to measure in-rush current as well
with the clamp meters’ peak hold feature.
The U1210 Series clamp meters offer
dual-ranging mode – manual and auto,
min/max recording capability and large
dual display for additional accessibility
when it comes to data collection
or analysis.
4-mm-tip probes
Each clamp meter provides an extra layer
of protection with CAT IV 600 V and CAT
III 1000 V safety ratings. When performing
a measurement with the multimeter, test
probes with 4-mm tips (which is bundled
with each clamp meter) can be used to
further prevent dangerous arc fl ash if the
tips are inadvertently shorted together
during probing.
