KYORITSU 2003A 2000A AC/DC Clamp Meter

KYORITSU 2003A 2000A AC/DC Clamp Meter is an average-sensing, auto-ranging multimeter for measuring current, voltage, and resistance in electrical testing applications. It has a clamp that measures AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) to 2,000A (amperes). The clamp has two jaws that can close around an electrical conductor up to 55mm (2.16 inches) in diameter to measure current without touching or interrupting the circuit. A set of test leads is included for measuring AC voltage to 750V, DC voltage to 600V, and resistance to 4,000Ω (ohms).

Description :

The meter has a rotary switch to select the property to measure, and a 4,000-count LCD. The maximum function displays the highest reading measured during a 400ms (millisecond) sample. To aid documentation of readings and capture readings in tight spaces, the data hold function keeps the most recent reading on the display after disconnecting from the circuit. A continuity buzzer confirms that the circuit conducts electricity. For long-term monitoring of current, the meter comes with an output plug for attaching to a recording device (sold separately). The unit operates on two 1.5V AA batteries, and turns off automatically after 10 minutes of non-use to conserve battery life. It has a low-battery indicator that signals when the battery needs to be replaced.

This average-sensing, also called average responding or mean value, meter provides accurate readings when measuring linear loads, such as standard induction motors and incandescent lights, where the current or voltage has a sinusoidal waveform. It is auto-ranging, so it automatically selects the appropriate operating range for the property being measured. Accuracy and resolution specifications vary according to the range being measured. The meter meets IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) safety standards 61010-1, 61010-031, and 61010-2-032, and is rated for CAT (category) IV installations to 600 volts, which covers equipment at the origin of the installation, such as electricity meters and primary over-current protection equipment , and CAT III installations to 1,000V, which covers equipment in fixed installations, such as switches in the fixed installation and some industrial equipment that is permanently connected to the fixed installation. It has CE (European Conformity) marking. The unit comes with a carrying case.
