F W Bell mA-2000 Amp Clamp, AC & DC

Description

The mA-2000 is a battery-powered, clamp-on instrument that measures dc and ac current as low as 1 mA and as high as 2000 mA, at frequencies up to 100 kHz. The mA-2000 consists of a palm-sized meter and a detachable probe. The probe clamps around the conductor to be measured. There is no need to disconnect the conductor or make physical contact with the circuit being measured. The current-carrying conductor is surrounded by a magnetic field that is proportional to the amount of current that is flowing through it. The probe senses the magnetic field and provides a signal to the meter. The meter then translates this signal into a milliamp current value. The probe features a unique aperture mechanism that retracts easily and closes smoothly. The probe can accommodate conductors up to 5.3 mm (0.21 in.) in diameter!
