Clamp Meters

SANWA clamp meters measure current without breaking the circuit, from 120 g pocket AC models to DC/AC meters rated to 2000 A and a flexible CT reaching 3000 A. Most add voltage, resistance and DMM functions. Bhumika is SANWA’s authorized Canadian distributor and provides quotes for Canada.

What should I consider before buying?

Decide first whether you need DC current: DCM401, DCM400AD, DCL31DR, DCM600DR and DCM2000DR measure DC and AC, while the rest are AC-only. For CAT IV, DCM401 and DCM301 list CAT IV 600 V / CAT III 1000 V, DCM2000DR lists CAT IV 1000 V and DCL3000R lists CAT IV 600 V. DLC470 is the leakage specialist with 0.01 mA resolution, DCL1000 and DCL1200R have a Φ42 mm jaw, and DCL3000R uses a flexible CT. DCM660R measures inrush current; DCM600DR and DCM2000DR have peak hold.

What do buyers usually ask?

Which clamp meters measure DC current?

DCM401, DCM400AD, DCL31DR, DCM600DR and DCM2000DR measure both DC and AC current. The other models in the range are AC-only.

Which model is for leakage current?

DLC470 measures AC leakage current in 60.00 mA and 600.0 mA ranges with 0.01 mA resolution, with a band-pass filter that extracts mainly the 50/60 Hz component.

What is the largest current range?

DCL3000R measures AC current to 3000 A with a flexible CT. DCM2000DR measures DC and AC current to 2000 A and is rated CAT IV 1000 V.
