In projects where milliamperes accuracy is critical, Fluke model i30 leads the way.
This product, categorized under Digital Multimeter accessories, is engineered to measure currents up to 30 amperes without the need to interrupt the circuit and with minimal error.
Unlike high current clamps, the i30 focuses on resolution and stability at low currents.
The use of Hall Effect sensor allows this probe to accurately identify complex waveforms and direct currents (DC).
The output of this device is 100mV per 1A, meaning that even the smallest changes in current will be easily visible on your multimeter display as voltage.
Its durable body and ergonomic design make working in electrically tight environments much easier, ensuring user safety according to international standards.
