The Fluke i100 current clamp is designed for measuring AC and DC currents in industrial environments, PV systems, and electrical installations. This device employs Hall-effect technology and measures current through an open jaw without direct contact with the conductor.
One significant advantage is that it can be installed on insulated wires without disconnecting connections, making the process quicker and safer.
Additionally, the i100 clamp features a "DC zeroing" function, which enhances accuracy when measuring DC currents.
