Keysight Technologies U1210 Series Handheld Clamp Meters Handle big currents – more safely Data Sheet
Introduction Measurements of electrical distribution cables can be challenging and risky. For cables up to two inches in diameter, the Keysight Technologies, Inc. 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.
03 | Keysight | U1210 Series Handheld Clamp Meters – Data Sheet Key Measurements Measure current easily and accurately Keysight U1210 Series handheld clamp meters come with clamp opening of 52 mm/2 inches and high current measurement capability of up to 1000 A (AC, DC, AC+ DC). With the large jaw size, these handhelds simplify current measurements for thick cables. Clamp on with the U1210 Series and get convenience, versatility and the ability to handle big currents—safely.
