RS PRO 173 Clamp Meter, 600A dc, Max Current 600A ac CAT III 1000V

Introducing the RS PRO Clamp Meter, ideal for applications that require AC and DC Current and Voltage measurement. The device has a built-in data logger that can measure current up to 600A AC/DC and voltage up to 1000V AC/DC. The measurement device is powered by 2 x AA batteries, while also offering functionality for High-Frequency Rejection (HFR) and DC μA for flame rod testing applications. Thanks to the 45 mm x 10 mm fixed jaw probe, the tester provides accurate and reliable results, while the measurements are easy to read thanks to the large backlit LCD screen, making the clamp meter ideal for use even in environments with little light or poor visibility. This high-quality RS PRO clamp meter is a versatile tool that can be used across a range of applications and environments and is an ideal troubleshooting tool for commercial electricians and solar power technicians.

Clamp meters are an electrical test tool used to measure electrical characteristics such as AC current, AC and DC voltage, resistance, continuity and more. Clamp meters are often a combination of a basic digital multimeter and a current sensor, offering a versatile electrical measurement tool. The main advantage of these devices is that allows the user to take a reading from a wire without touching it, which is safer and more convenient than other methods. Clamp meters are commonly used by:

• Industrial maintenance technicians


• Control technicians


• Electricians – in-house and contractors


• Facilities, building maintenance and HVAC technicians


• Service organisations
