The Fluke 323 digital clamp meter is a true RMS sensing, auto-ranging multimeter for measuring current, voltage, and resistance in electrical testing applications. It has a clamp that measures AC current to 400 amp. The clamp has two jaws that can close around an electrical conductor up to 30mm in diameter to measure current without touching or interrupting the circuit. A set of test leads is included for measuring AC and DC voltage to 600V and resistance to 40 kilohms. An audible continuity sensor confirms that the circuit conducts electricity. To aid documentation of readings and capture readings in tight spaces, the data hold function keeps the most recent reading on the display after disconnecting from the circuit. The meter has a rotary switch to select the property to measure, and a four-digit LCD that shows readings. The unit operates on two AAA batteries, and it has a low-battery indicator that signals when the battery needs to be replaced. Clamp meters are typically used by electrical engineers to measure properties of electrical current without physically touching or disconnecting the conductor.
This true RMS (root mean square) sensing meter provides accurate readings when measuring linear or non-linear loads, regardless of waveform. It is auto-ranging, so it automatically selects the appropriate operating range for the property being measured. Accuracy and resolution specifications vary according to the range being measured. It meets International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standard 61010-1 and is rated for CAT IV installations to 300V, which covers measurements at the source of the low-voltage supply such as electricity meters and overcurrent protection devices, and CAT III installations to 600V, which covers items used with enclosed building circuit installations, such as service panel parts, branch circuits, and fixed installations that are connected directly to a building's AC power supply. The European Conformity (CE) marking indicates compliance with applicable European Union directives. The unit comes with a test lead set, a carrying case, and instructions.
