The instrument cannot measure inrush current including DC components accurately.
AC inrush peak vale
Exapmple: 150 A
Inrush current occurance period
(several dozen to several hundred milliseconds)
AC
RMS value (inrush)
Example: 60 A
The inrush measurement range is set as follows depending on the range when the current is
measured.
Range when the current is measured Inrush measurement range
Auto 600.0 A range
60.00 mA 600.0 mA range
600.0 mA, 6.000 A, 60.00 A, 600.0 A Range when the current is measured
To cancel, hold down the MAX/MIN and RANGE keys simultaneously for 1 s or more.
