PCE Deutschland PCE-CTI 10 Current Clamp Multimeter 100,000 MW | CAT IV 600 V, CAT III 1000 V, CAT II 1500 V | 0-1500 V AC/DC

The ammeter is the ideal measuring device for measuring voltages up to 1500 V AC/DC and currents up to 1000 A AC/DC.

The current measurement with the ammeter is inductive. For this purpose, the supply line is placed in the current clamp of the ammeter. This has the particular advantage that the current can be measured during operation. Thus, the ammeter finds its application, for example, during maintenance work on a photovoltaic system. Photovoltaic systems consist of many different solar cells, which are connected in series to each other. Here, the ammeter can be used to measure the individual currents of individual rows to narrow down possible errors.

In addition to the normal voltage and current measurement, the ammeter can also measure the inrush current. Inrush currents are currents that are particularly high at the moment of inrush. These currents occur when motors for ventilation systems, for example, are started up or when stadium lighting is switched on. This measurement with the ammeter is particularly important for the dimensioning of supply lines and fuses. Frequency converters are converters that output the voltage on the primary side with a changed frequency and amplitude on the secondary side. With the ammeter and the VFD measuring function, measurements up to a frequency of 45 Hz ... 1 kHz can be performed. In addition, the ammeter has a Bluetooth 4.0 interface.

With this interface on the ammeter, a connection to an Android and iOS end device can be established. With the free app Meterbox Pro”, the values measured by the ammeter can be displayed and saved for later analysis. With the data logging function, the ammeter can save all measured values at any set interval. After a measurement, the values can be displayed graphically via the ammeter. Each individual measuring point can also be read individually on the ammeter. The memory space of the ammeter has a size of 16 groups and a total memory space size of 100,000 measured values. The ammeter stores the measured value with date and time.
