Current clamp MN95
AC current clamp for NanoVIP® power quality analyzers
Amperometric mini-clamp for AC currents from 0.01 A to 5 A with with reduced dimensions and high ergonomics.
Compact, strong and precise
- Can be used on NanoVIP® family analyzers without the need for external power supply or amplification.
- Equipped with automatic recognition system if used on the latest NanoVIP® series analyzers: TWOTM, CUBETM and QUADRATM
- Designed for the measurement of alternating currents in a wide range of values: from 0.01A to 5A
- Compact and light
- Very high precision
- The shape of the pliers makes it easy to hook onto the cables, even in the smallest areas.
- The grippers can grip conductors up to 20 mm in diameter.
- The precision that it offers on the whole measuring range allows it a very wide use (from civil to industrial)
- The shape allows a safe use even when wearing safety gloves
- Optionally adapters are available to use it on older generation of Elcontrol analyzers, without automatic clamp recognition
Characteristics
The MN95 current clamp can be used on all analyzers of the NanoVIP® family to measure AC currents up to 5 A; it is equipped with an automatic recognition system by the analyzer that makes its setting very simple.
The particularly compact dimensions make it a highly ergonomic tool, easy to place and with minimal space requirements.
MN95 AC clamp can be used on all the analyzers of the latest generation of NanoVIP® family (production from 2015 onwards with automatic recognition of the current clamps) except for the DS model that can only mount the DC clamp.
For the older NanoVIP® analyzers (without clamps recognition), suitable adapters are available to allow their use.
