The DCM310 and DCM320 digital clamp meters are ideal for use during the installation, maintenance, and inspection of electrical systems and equipment. Indeed, the large clamp jaw enables cables up to 27 mm in diameter to be measured, which covers the majority of applications within the electrical system installation industry.
Both clamp meters will measure AC current (50 to 60 Hz) up to 400 A, with a 'Data hold' feature that freezes the displayed value so you can have more time to read the display, this is particularly useful in confined situations where the display may be harder to see.
The DCM310 also has a 'Max hold' feature that automatically stores and displays the maximum value measured over a period of time.
The DCM320 can measure both AC and DC voltages up to 600 V and resistance up to 20 M via the terminals and supplied test leads. It also has a continuity buzzer that operates up to 20 .
Both meters are safety rated to IEC 61010 CAT III 600 V, offering you high levels of protection. What's more, carrying cases are included for the instrument and, even without the case, they are rated to withstand a 1.2 m drop onto a hard surface without damage.
Reliable Measurement and SafetyThe DCM310 and DCM320 clamp meters are tailored for safety-conscious professionals. Their CAT III 600V rating, double insulated housing, and overload protection safeguard both user and device. The robust design allows for daily use in demanding environments. Clear, accurate readings on the 2000 count display ensure you can trust your measurements every time.
User-Friendly Features for Efficient TestingThese meters are designed with convenience in mind, offering features like automatic power-off, low battery indicators, and a handheld design. The DCM320 adds practicality with data hold, diode test, and audible continuity alert, enabling faster and more efficient troubleshooting. Both models are easy to operate, letting users confidently test AC or DC currents and voltages.
FAQ's of DCM310 and DCM320 Digital clamp meters - Megger:
Q: How does the DCM310 differ from the DCM320 digital clamp meter?
A: The DCM310 measures only AC currents up to 400A, while the DCM320 can measure both AC and DC currents within the same range. Additionally, the DCM320 includes data hold, audible continuity, and diode testing features, making it more versatile for advanced diagnostics.
Q: What applications are these clamp meters suitable for?
A: Both DCM310 and DCM320 are ideal for use in electrical installation, routine fault finding, maintenance tasks, and HVAC servicing. Their robust build and safety features make them suitable for professional settings where reliability and safety are paramount.
Q: When does the auto power-off feature activate, and why is it useful?
A: The auto power-off function activates after 30 minutes of inactivity, helping conserve battery life. This ensures the device is always ready for use and reduces the chance of battery drain during busy workdays.
Q: Where can I use the DCM310 and DCM320 regarding operating and storage conditions?
A: These clamp meters are suitable for operation in environments with temperatures between 0C to 40C, and they can be safely stored from -10C to +50C. Their double insulation and drop-resistant housing ensure reliable performance even in challenging settings.
Q: How do I benefit from the safety features of these Megger clamp meters?
A: With compliance to EN61010-1 CAT III 600V standards, double insulation, and overload protection on all ranges, users are protected from electrical hazards during measurements, making these meters a secure choice for fieldwork and maintenance.
Q: What process should I follow to measure current with these clamp meters?
A: To measure current, simply connect the meter to the circuit and clamp the jaws around the conductor without breaking the circuit. The DCM310 will measure AC current, while the DCM320 allows for both AC and DC current measurements, displaying accurate readings on the digital display.
