PAC series

Current clamps for AC/DC current

PAC series

The PAC series is a range of professional AC/DC current

clamps.

There are two different jaw designs available for clamping

cables and small busbars.

The PAC series clamps operate on the Hall effect principle,

allow current measurement up to 1500 A DC and 1000 A AC.

The electronics and the batteries are all located in the clamp

handles. There are two sensitivity levels available: 1 mV/A

and 10 mV/A.

A push button operates the automatic DC zeroing on models

PAC 11, 12, 21 and 22.

Models PAC 10 and PAC 20 have potentiometer-operated

zero adjustment.

TRMS measurement with the DC component is possible

using a multimeter or power meter with suitable capabilities.

Models PAC 12 and PAC 22 are designed for use with

oscilloscopes and other BNC-input instruments.
