The Amprobe ACD-3300 digital clamp meter with included temperature probe is a true RMS (root mean square) sensing, auto- or manual-ranging multimeter for measuring current, voltage, capacitance, and resistance in electrical testing and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) applications. It has a clamp that measures alternating current (AC) to 1,000 amp. The meter comes with detachable test leads that measure direct current (DC) voltage to 1,000 volts (V), AC voltage to 750V, capacitance to 6.6 millifarads, resistance to 66 megaohms, frequency to 1 megahertz (MHz), and duty cycle up to 95%. The clamp has two jaws that can close around a conductor up to 2" (57 mm) in diameter to measure current or frequency without touching or interrupting the circuit. The meter comes with a K-type thermocouple probe for measuring temperature. The peak + or - function records peak positive or negative values for AC current and AC voltage. The maximum or minimum reading mode displays the highest or lowest reading in a session to track a sudden increase or decrease in readings. It has a liquid crystal display (LCD) that shows readings both in digits and on a 66-segment bar graph. The LCD is backlit for visibility in low light. 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 true RMS (root mean square) sensing 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, or non-linear loads, such as electronic devices or motors, where the current or voltage has a sinuso...
