The Current Clamp is used for measuring one to three phases of electrical quantities for alternating current (AC). This 3-Phase Current Clamp also measures such parameters as voltage, current, frequency, harmonics and power as well as indicating, according to standard EN50160, harmonic values, interharmonics and asymmetrics. Interference, such as interruptions, leaks, overloads or transience (from 16µs) are detected with their corresponding values. The backlit LCD, with high resolution, can show up to 35 parameters simultaneously. It can have up to 3 clips attached at the same time. In data logger mode, it can save up to 17,470 readings (3 phases / 4 conductors), in a simpler set up (1 phase / 2 conductores) it can save up to 52,400 readings, split into 85 groups. All this makes the Current Clamp the ideal instrument for taking measurements over long durations. Measurement values obtained can be sent to a computer and be processed with the analysis software which comes included. The device comes with everything needed to be measuring and analysing from the moment the device arrives. Although the Current Clamp comes calibrated from the manufacturer, an optional laboratory calibration and certificate, that meets ISO standards, can be ordered seperately with the device or when a recalibration is required.
