Digital Clamp Meter
A Digital Clamp Meter is an electrical testing instrument that combines the features of a digital multimeter with a current-measuring clamp. It allows users to measure current flowing through a conductor without making direct contact or breaking the circuit, as the jaws of the clamp sense the magnetic field around the conductor. It is widely used in electrical installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and field service work due to its safety, portability, and ease of use.
- Non-contact Current Measurement – Measures AC/DC current by clamping around the conductor without disconnecting it.
- Multi-function Display – Digital LCD display for clear and accurate readings.
- Wide Measurement Range – Capable of measuring AC/DC current, voltage, resistance, continuity, frequency, and sometimes capacitance.
- True RMS (in advanced models) – Provides accurate measurement even for non-sinusoidal waveforms.
- Data Hold Function – Freezes the displayed value for easy reading.
- Auto/Manual Range Selection – Adjusts to the appropriate measurement range automatically (auto-range models).
- Safety Features – Insulated jaws, overload protection, and CAT-rated safety standards.
- Portability – Compact, lightweight, and battery-operated for field use.
- Additional Functions (model-dependent) – Diode testing, temperature measurement (with probe), backlit display, and low-battery indicator.
