Specifications

Measurements of electrical distribution cables can be challenging and
risky. For cables up to two inches in diameter, the Agilent U1210 Series
handheld clamp meters enable high-current measurements without
breaking the circuit. Unlike most clamp meters, they also include DMM
capabilities—resistance, capacitance, frequency and temperature—to
simplify troubleshooting during installation and maintenance. Best of all,
they provide an extra layer of protection with CAT IV 600 V and CAT III
1000 V safety ratings.
• Large clamp opening of 52 mm or 2 "
• High measurement capability of up to 1000 A for AC, DC or AC+DC
• CAT III 1000 V/CAT IV 600 V safety rating
• Includes full-featured DMM with resistance, capacitance, frequency and
temperature functions
• High resolution measurements - measure current as low as 0.01 A
• Peak hold capability
Features
U1210 Series – Handheld Clamp Meters
Large jaw opening and high-current measurement capability - for installation
and maintenance of high-current distribution systems and cables
Current measurements at power distribu-
tion sites can be challenging as cables are
usually large as they contain high current
sources. The need of current measure-
ment methods that are safe and easy
add complexity to the task of acquiring
accurate current data. Conventionally, a
current conductor has to be disconnected
to allow probe insertion and this is not
only hazardous when high currents are
involved, but not convenient as well.
Applications with U1210 series Handheld Clamp Meters
With a two-inch (52 mm) jaw opening,
the U1210 Series handheld clamp meters
simplify current measurements for thick
cables, without breaking the circuit. The
clamp meters provide the ability to handle
big currents, with current measurement
capability of up to 1000 A (AC, DC,
AC+DC). This series also enables high
resolution measurements, with the ability
to measure currents as low as 0.01 A.
You are able to measure in-rush current
as well with the clamp meters’ peak hold
feature.
The U1210 Series clamp meters offer
dual-ranging mode – manual and auto,
min/max recording capability and large
dual display for additional accessibil-
ity when it comes to data collection or
analysis.
4-mm-tip probes
Each clamp meter provides an extra layer
of protection with CAT IV 600 V and
CAT III 1000 V safety ratings. When
performing a measurement with the
multimeter, test probes with 4-mm tips
(which is bundled with each clamp
meter) can be used to further prevent
dangerous arc fl ash if the tips are
inadvertently shorted together during
probing.
