Now available from Martindale Electric – pioneers in electrical safety – is the new CM69 TRMS AC Leakage Clamp Meter, ideal for troubleshooting leakage currents where other clamps can’t, for example, for tracking down the causes of nuisance RCD tripping.
Featuring class leading low current performance with a resolution 0.001mA the new clamps makes it easy to accurately measure AC currents from less than 0.1mA right up to 60A. The CM69 features a unique jaw design which minimises the influence of adjacent current conductors enabling professionals to perform precise and reliable tests at very low currents.
One of the few testers on the market which uses True RMS measurement, the CM69 ensures that leakage currents can be identified and measured accurately even when due to harmonics. In addition the new design includes a switchable filter enabling repeatable periodic measurements at 50Hz for assessing insulation quality and deterioration without powering down the circuit
The advanced features and high resolution make the new clamp an essential live troubleshooting tool for all electricians enabling fast solutions to common problems from nuisance tripping of RCDs, through to identification of triplen neutral currents. The very low current capability means it can also be used to simplify appliance testing by measuring leakage currents through the earth conductor or by clamping around both live and neutral conductors to measure the differential leakage current.
The new compact clamp includes AC/DC voltage measurement, plus resistance and continuity functions meaning it can be used to replace other general purpose clamps as well as offering a high level of troubleshooting. A CATIV safety rating and rugged design ensures the CM69 can be used in the most demanding applications.
Competitively priced, the CM69 is a lightweight and simple to operate meter with a high contrast backlight display for use in areas where ambient lighting is poor.
The ever increasing use of power electronics in electrical equipment and lighting can result in higher leakage currents and harmonics, the CM69 is the perfect troubleshooting tool to diagnose related problems easily and quickly without having to power down the installation.
