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

. 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. The approach below designed help define your requirements and guide you naturally towards the model which best suits your application.
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
