Megger’s Digital Clamp Meter Measures Current Flow in Electrical Systems and Equipment

Melissa Larson | May 15, 2015

Megger now offers a digital clamp meter used to measure current flow in electrical systems and equipment during installation, maintenance and monitoring. The DCM1500 can measure AC and DC current up to 1,500 A, with other testers in its class only topping at 1,000 A. The DCM1500 offers a true RMS reading on the AC range for greater measurement accuracy. It can measure resistance up to 400 Ohms and offers a frequency range from 20 Hz to 400 Hz. Ideal for use by electricians, commercial electrical contractors, maintenance teams, generator installers and servicing engineers as well as electrical inspectors and assessors, this easy-to-use tester is versatile and safe. It can help check feeder lines and incomers, measure current during load-balancing on three-phase supplies and diagnose faults on systems and equipment. With a jaw size of 51 mm, Megger’s new clamp meter can accommodate large conductors with larger current measurements and a voltage range of 750 AC and 1,000 VDC. The clamp meter’s design allows users to measure current on uninsulated conductors and busbars.
