Making Measurements
AC current measurement
The current is measured via the current clamp (2). The sensors in the current clamp detect the
magnetic field created by current-carrying conductors. You can take measurements on insulated
and not insulated conductors.
The test leads should be disconnected from the measuring device when measuring current.
Proceed as follows to measure the current:
1) Turn the knob to ,and select Proper range(6/60A or 600A)。
2) Press the clamp release lever and open the clamp.
3) Grasp the individual current conductor to be measured and close the current clamp again. The
measured conductor must be placed in the center of the clamp, otherwise additional errors will occur.
Attention
► Do not use the current clamp to surround more than one conductor.
► If the supply and return conductors (e.g. L and N) are measured, the currents will cancel each
other out and no measurement will be displayed. The cables of household
appliances usually contain L and N conductors. A cable separator is required to measure
