The Amprobe ACD-10 Plus digital clamp meter is an average-sensing, auto-ranging multimeter for measuring current, voltage, capacitance, resistance, and frequency in electrical testing applications. It has a transformer clamp that measures alternating current (AC) to 600 amp and frequency to 100 kilohertz (kHz), and it comes with detachable test leads that measure direct current (DC) voltage and AC voltage to 600 volts (V), capacitance to 3,000 microfarads, resistance to 40 megaohms, and frequency to 100 kHz. The clamp has two 0.4" (10 mm) thick jaws that are slimmer than standard clamp jaws for improved access to tight areas. The jaws can close around electrical conductors up to 1" (26 mm) in diameter to measure current without touching or interrupting the circuit. A relative zero mode stores a reading in memory to use as a zero point for subsequent readings, allowing for quick comparison of multiple readings. The maximum reading mode displays the highest reading in a session to track a sudden increase in measurements. An audible continuity sensor confirms that the circuit conducts electricity, and a diode test detects whether a circuit’s diodes are working properly. The hold function keeps the reading on the display, even after the meter is disconnected. The unit automatically turns off after 30 minutes of non-use to conserve battery life, and a low-battery indicator signals when the meter's batteries need to be replaced. A finger guard on the body of the meter helps protect fingers from shock.This average-sensing, or average-responding, meter provides accurate readings when measuring linear loads, such as standard induction motors and incandescent lights, where the current or voltage has a sinusoidal waveform. It is an auto-ranging multimeter and automatically selects the correct operating range for the property being measured. The meter has a 4,000-count resolution, meaning that it can display up to 3,999 units (3-3/4 digits) before the operating range needs to be changed. It meets International Electro...
