Digital Multimeter PCE-GPA 50
Current clamp up to 2000 A / TRMS measurement / Power measurement / Harmonic analysis / Graphic display with lighting / Data storage / Mains and battery operation
The PCE-GPA 50 current clamp is used to measure the current of 1- or 3-phase loads. This clamp is especially characterized by its measuring range up to 2000 A. Another highlight is the graphic display of the current clamp. Here, in addition to the numerical measured values, the waveform of the phase can also be displayed by the current clamp. Likewise, the current clamp can be used to measure voltages. As a result, the current clamp is able to calculate effective, apparent and reactive power with the help of the phase angle. In addition, the current clamp can measure other network parameters such as the energy, power factor and harmonic.
In addition to the extensive measuring functions, this current clamp distinguishes your data logger function. All measured values can be stored by the current probe directly on a micro SD card. The clamp is powered by 2 1.5V AA batteries. However, it is also possible to operate the current clamp with a power supply for long-term measurements.
