The Megger DCM1500 TRMS clamp meter is designed to be used on electrical systems and equipment to measure current, volts, resistance, and frequency. It can be used while installing, maintaining, fault-finding or monitoring large AC or DC electrical systems and equipment. By using True RMS measurement techniques, the DCM1500 avoids the errors which can occur when non-sinusoidal waveforms created by today’s complex loads are measured using traditional average sensing clamp meters.
Using the Relative mode (REL), a stable value can be stored, the instrument zeroed at that point, and then any variation from that value is displayed as a direct measurement relative to it. The backlight display is helpful in poorly lit areas such as distribution cupboards and corners of switchrooms; and the data-hold feature enables use on difficult access cables where otherwise the display may be impossible to see.
