AGILENT Technologies has introduced the U1210 series handheld clamp meters, with up to 1000A of high-current measurement capability for cables up to 2in in diameter.
The company has also announced an updated range of handheld instruments clad in vivid orange for greater visibility and safety.
According to the manufacturer, its U1240B and U1250B series digital multimeters (DMMs) and U1210A clamp meters carry CAT III 1000 V, CAT IV 600 V safety ratings, for applications involving high voltages and currents.
The firm says its handheld and U1210A units include 4mm-tip probes. The shorter exposed tip provides additional insulation in CAT IV environments, to help prevent dangerous arc flash if the tips are inadvertently shorted together during probing.
The U1240B and U1250B DMMs also include a 30 kA high energy fuse to further protect the user against violent fuse failures during high-current measurements
