Product details

For easy and quick measurement of direct and alternating currents up to 400 A, the circuit does not need to be interrupted during measurement, unlike with multimeters. This device is perfectly suited for servicing machines in control cabinets and for measuring high currents in automotive and truck electronics.

Multimeter functions: The device features voltage, frequency, temperature, capacitance, and resistance measurement functions with automatic range selection, as well as diode testing, True RMS, and an acoustic continuity tester. Additionally, it is equipped with non-contact voltage testing (NCV).

The high-contrast display with 4000 counts is exceptionally easy to read in all lighting conditions. Especially in poorly lit control cabinets, this model outperforms traditional clamp meters. The display shows 4-digit values up to 3999, regardless of the position of the decimal point.

The hold button is perfectly reachable with the thumb and is used to store readings when the display cannot be seen during measurement. This button is ergonomically placed at the thumb's position and does not need to be searched for, as is the case with conventional clamps.

If needed, a bright LED with optics can be activated to illuminate the area directly in front of the clamp. The VOLTCRAFT VC-523 maintains a slip-resistant contact with the surface. Unintentional slipping on uneven surfaces is effectively prevented by the rubber coating.

With its two-component housing featuring integrated soft rubber protection, the measuring device is also suitable for tough applications. The rubberized housing shell makes the measuring device very easy to grip. A standard thread for connection to safety holders or belt systems is integrated into the housing.
