Sanwa DCM600DR Clamp Meter for Automotive Hybrid / Electric Vehicle + DMM Functionality

Description

The Sanwa DCM600DR is a True RMS digital clamp meter designed for measuring both AC and DC current and voltage, including in hybrid and electric vehicles. It also functions as a digital multimeter (DMM) for resistance and continuity tests. Its ability to measure direct current (DC) is particularly important for EV and hybrid work, as most clamps only measure alternating current (AC).

Key Feature

• AC/DC current measurement: Measures up to 600A for both AC and DC, which is necessary for working on high-voltage EV and hybrid vehicle systems.
• True RMS: This feature ensures accurate readings of AC current and voltage, even for non-sinusoidal waveforms found in modern electrical systems.
• DMM functions: In addition to clamping, it measures DC and AC voltage up to 600V and resistance up to 999.9Ω.
• Peak hold: Captures and displays the peak value of inrush currents, with a capture interval of 1ms.
• Zero function: Allows you to zero out the display before starting a DC current measurement, which improves accuracy by removing any residual magnetism from the clamp.
• Data hold: Freezes the current reading on the display for easier viewing.
• Backlit LCD: A 6000-count display with a backlight improves readability in low-light conditions.
• Auto power-save: Conserves battery life by automatically turning off after 30 minutes of inactivity.
• Relative value measurement: Sets a certain value as a reference point (zero) and displays subsequent measurements as a positive or negative deviation.
• Safety rating: The meter complies with the IEC61010 CAT.III 600V safety standard.
