Low-cost clamp meters

17 September 2014 Test & Measurement

The compact and ergonomically designed Iso-Tech ILCM03A and ICM30R clamp meters are designed for making safe and non-intrusive current measurements in a range of applications, at prices approximately 30% cheaper than leading brands, according to distributor RS Components.

The ILCM03A is primarily geared toward current leakage detection, while a key feature of the ICM30R is its ability to make true-RMS AC current readings. Both devices also offer reliable and accurate voltage and resistance measurements as well as continuity testing for circuit breaks.

The ILCM03A is a highly portable device with compact dimensions of only 210 x 62 x 35,6 mm. It also has a single large rotary function-selection switch enabling one-handed measurement and a large backlit 3,75-digit LCD with an analog bar graph, making it a tool that is easy to use and easy to read in any environment. The meter also offers a large-jaw design that enables non-intrusive current measurement on cables and wires that are up to 30 mm in diameter.

The ICM30R integrates dual Hall sensors to provide reliable and accurate current measurements, and provides the true-RMS AC current value of both pure and distorted waveforms. It is also highly portable and easy to use and read, and features a special hand-guard design which provides additional user protection against direct contact with electrical conductors.

Manufactured and tested to international standards, both clamp meters are rated to CAT II 600V and CAT III 300V, according to IEC 61010.
