How to choose clamp meter, six elements of clamp ammeter selection

 

1. The current measuring function of clamp meter is divided into AC current clamp meter and AC and DC current clamp meter.


2. It can be selected according to the measurement range of the clamp meter. Such as: 200A, 400A, 600A, 1000A, 2000A.


3. When choosing a clamp meter, you can also choose a clamp meter suitable for your own use according to the size of the jaws.


4. Due to the continuous expansion of the measurement functions of clamp meters on the market, some clamp meters already have many multimeter functions, so the selection range is very wide.


5. With the development of modern electronic products, there are two kinds of gear positions of the clamp meter: manual shifting and automatic shifting. This can also be used as the basis for selecting a clamp meter.


6. Select the appropriate clamp meter by brand.


How to measure tower power frequency grounding resistance with clamp meter?
1. First, check whether the line tower under test complies with the regulations in 7.2, and record the tower number, grounding electrode number, grounding electrode type, soil condition and local temperature.


2. Check the electrical connection status of the ground wire of the tower under test.


When measuring, only keep one grounding wire connected to the tower body, and the rest of the grounding wires should be disconnected from the tower body, and use metal wires to connect the other disconnected grounding wires in parallel with the reserved grounding wire, and use the tower grounding device as a overall measurement.


3. When measuring, open the jaws of the tester, and use the clamp-type ground resistance tester to clamp the reserved grounding wire, so that the grounding wire is centered, as perpendicular as possible to the plane where the jaws of the tester are located, and keep the jaws in good contact. With the tester operating, take and record a stable reading.
