CURRENT CLAMP AC/DC 30A
Ref : CT-CLAMP-AC/DC
The CT-CLAMP-AC/DC is a precision Hall effect current clamp designed for accurate, non-intrusive measurement of AC and DC currents in testing, maintenance, and diagnostic applications. It is compatible with multimeters, oscilloscopes, recorders, and Zensol acquisition systems, enabling reliable measurements without interrupting the circuit.
The clamp converts current into a proportional voltage output of 100 mV/A, ensuring direct compatibility with standard instruments and stable signal transmission. It supports up to 30 A DC and 20 A AC RMS, making it suitable for low to medium current applications such as substation control circuits, breaker coils, and auxiliary systems.
With a bandwidth of up to 20 kHz, it captures transient events and dynamic current variations, including switching operations. This makes it well suited for timing tests where coil current analysis helps correlate electrical behavior with mechanical performance.
In circuit breaker diagnostics, the clamp monitors tripping and closing coil currents, providing insight into actuator performance and overall system condition. Multiple clamps can be used simultaneously to measure several current paths without modifying the setup.
The Hall effect sensing principle ensures accurate measurement of both DC and AC signals, with strong immunity to electromagnetic interference. Its compact, lightweight design allows easy use in confined spaces, while its robust construction ensures durability and consistent performance in demanding environments.
By combining wide bandwidth, dual AC/DC capability, and non-intrusive operation, the CT-CLAMP-AC/DC is a reliable tool for electrical diagnostics, protection testing, and maintenance verification.
