Current clamps for AC current

MN SERIES

These ergonomic mini-clamps are designed to make light work of

measuring low and medium currents from 0.01 A to 240 A AC.

The shape of the jaws makes ‘hooking’ onto cables easy, even in areas of

restrictive access. The jaws can grip conductors up to 20mm in diameter.

Depending on the particular model, they have one or two calibres. The

output is via either jack sockets or a lead with 4mm Øplugs, hence these

clamps are compatible with all multimeters and testers on the market.

There are two types of MN series clamps available. The ﬁ rst kind operates

as a current transformer (ratio 1,000/1) and gives a current output (mA)

for use with any tester with current calibres.

The second type gives a voltage output (DC or AC depending on the

model) proportional to the measured current (1, 10, 100 or 1,000mV/A).

This voltage output means that, even with testers without any current

calibres, it is possible to measure currents by means of the DC or AC

voltage calibres.

There are speciﬁ c models in the MN series that have been designed

with particular applications in mind such as measurement on current

transformer outputs, on oscilloscopes and even of leakage currents.
