The Amprobe ACDC-100 digital clamp meter is an average-sensing, auto- or manual-ranging multimeter for measuring current, voltage, capacitance, and resistance in electrical testing applications. It has a Hall effect clamp that measures alternating current (AC) to 800 amp and direct current (DC) to 1,000 amp. The meter comes with detachable test leads that measure DC voltage and AC voltage to 600 volts (V), capacitance to 3,000 microfarads, and resistance to 40 megaohms. The clamp has two jaws that can close around an electrical conductor up to 2" (50 mm) in diameter to measure current without touching or interrupting the circuit. The inrush reading displays measurement of entire motor inrush period at startup. 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 backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) is visible in low light. 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. The meter has an impact- and wear-resistant molded rubber body with a probe holder. 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. Two ranging modes (auto or manual) offer a range of operator control when taking readings. When turned on, the meter will be in auto-ranging mode and will automatically select the correct operating range f...
