Current Clamp
Current clamp PCE-DC 50
Clamp meter with true rms measurement / AC current measurement / Voltage measurement / Temperature measurement / Bluetooth interface / Rubberized housing / Display hold / Automatic switch-off / Test lead max. 48 mm / Many measuring functions
The clamp meter PCE-DC 50 is a measuring device for measuring currents of up to 1000 A AC / DC. In addition to current measurement, the clamp can also measure and test voltage, frequency, duty cycle, resistance, continuity test, capacitors and diodes. The enclosure diameter of the clamp is 48 mm. Thus, you can also perform measurements on cables with a large cross-section. Thanks to the NCVD function, it is possible to use the measuring clamp to check contactlessly whether a voltage is applied to a cable.
This clamp has an integrated Bluetooth interface. Via this Bluetooth interface a connection to the PC or the smartphone can be established with the measuring pliers. This allows the measured data of the measuring clamp to be stored and analyzed. If the PC does not have a Bluetooth interface to connect the measuring pliers, a suitable Bluetooth adapter is included in the delivery.
Another special feature of the measuring clamp is the measurement of temperatures. Two type-K thermocouples can be connected to the measuring clamp and read out at the same time. Here, temperatures of up to 1000°C / 1832°F can be measured. The housing of the measuring pliers consists of a robust plastic, which is additionally coated with a rubber coating. Thanks to the additional rubber coating, the measuring pliers can easily withstand impacts.
