The DCM1500 is a 1500 A true-rms clamp meter that measures AC or DC current up to 1500 A and offers 750 VAC and 1000 VDC ranges. It is ideal for installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and monitoring of large AC or DC electrical systems and equipment, and is suitable for use wherever current, voltage, resistance, and frequency measurements are required.

Product Description

Product Overview

The DCM1500 is a 1500 A TRMS clamp meter designed for accurate electrical measurements in various applications.

General Features
  • Wide Measurement Range: Measures DC & AC current up to 1500 A, AC voltage from 100 mV - 750 V, and DC voltage from 100 mV - 1000 V. Maximum resistance reading is 400 Ω, and frequency range is 20 - 400 Hz.
  • True RMS Measurement: Employs the True RMS technique to prevent measurement errors typically associated with non-sinusoidal waveforms on traditional average-sensing meters.
  • Safety-Rated: Safety-rated to IEC 61010-1 CAT IV 600 V. Drop-tested from 1.2 m onto a hard floor. Features a tactile barrier below the jaws to ensure a safe working distance.
Display & Functions
  • Clear Display: Features a numeric display with large digits and a high-resolution digital bar graph for monitoring fluctuations. Equipped with a backlight for poorly lit environments like switch rooms.
  • Convenient Functions: Includes Peak, Min/Max, and Data-Hold capabilities. The Data-Hold feature is highly practical for measuring hard-to-access cables where the display is hidden.
