Current Clamp
Current clamp PCE-PCM 3
Digital multimeter for single-phase measurement / NCV measurement / W / VA / Var / Inrush Current / 1000 A AC Current Measurement / Bluetooth Interface / Frequency Measurement / Backlight / Voltage measurement / 750 kW power
With the current clamp AC currents of up to 1000 A AC can be measured easily. At the same time, voltages of up to 1000V AC / DC can be measured with the current clamp. Thus, with the power current clamp, apparent power, reactive power and active power measurements up to 750 KW are possible. Another function of the current clamp is the measurement of the inrush current. Many consumers have a tremendously high current at the moment of switch-on. With a conventional current clamp such a measurement is not possible. For the current clamp this is not a problem.
With the NCV (Not Connected Voltage) function of the current clamp, it can be checked whether a voltage is applied to a line without performing a contacting measurement. This makes the work much easier for the user thanks to the current clamp. In addition to the measuring function, the current clamp can also be connected to a terminal via the Bluetooth interface. Via this Bluetooth interface, the measured data can be transmitted directly from the current clamp to the terminal, where it can be logged, analyzed and sent.
