Choose Choosing your ammeter clamp
There wide range criteria for choosing ammeter clamp. result their specifications, certain clamps are specialized for specific applications.

. the next pages, you will find table presenting the clamps for measuring AC/DC current, followed diagram giving clamp form with dimensions and then another table grouping large number models for current. The criteria selected are classified from 1 to choose your clamp, advise you follow this logic:
z Measurement direct alternating current?
IEC 61010-2-032 clamps The widest range IEC 1010 clamps
Our innovation, technical expertise and determination manufacture top-quality products that comply with standards have made Chauvin Arnoux the worldwide specialist ammeter clamps.
z lamps for oscilloscopes (BNC connectors): E3N, PAC12,
(AC/DC clamps clamps tables )
z igh low currents? (see the “Input” column H
to define the appropriate families clamps)
z small wires large cables? (see the diaO
grams the bottom the next page and only choose families with the shapes and dimensions required)
z hat instrument will connected to? (see W
PAC22, MN60, Y7N, C160, and D38N
z lamps for leakage currents: MN73 and C173 and B102 rocess current clamps:
K1 and K2
z lamp for measureC
"Input Connection" column choose clamp with compatible signal and connection possibilities)
z hat are your other criteria? (see "Specific features" column W
ment the secondary winding current transformers: MN71
to check that the clamp chosen fulfils your requirements perfectly)
As well these standard specialized and unspecialized models, "specific" versions can also produced request: please ask for details. The approach below designed help define your requirements and guide you naturally towards the model which best suits your application
