High current testing
A large jaw aperture, which provides enhanced operator safety when making measurements on busbars and other uninsulated conductors, is one of the benefits of the new DCM1500 high current clampmeter from portable test equipment expert Megger.
The instrument also features a tactile barrier below the jaws, which further increases safety by ensuring a safe working distance between the user’s hands and the conductor while measurements are being made.
While primarily designed for measuring AC and DC current up to 1,500 A, the versatile DCM1500 also offers facilities for measuring AC voltage up to 750 V, DC voltage up to 1,000 V, frequency from 20 to 400 Hz and for checking continuity up to 400 Ω. This makes it suitable for use when installing, maintaining and fault finding on a wide range of commercial and industrial power systems.
