Clamp Multimeter METRACLIP 86
The measurement is displayed on screen.
3.10 STARTING CURRENT OR OVERCURRENT (TRUE INRUSH)
MEASUREMENT
Remark :
the measurement can be made only in AC or DC mode (AC+DC mode
disabled)
To measure a starting current or overcurrent, proceed as follows:
1.
Set the switch to
, correct the DC zero (§
3.9.2
), then apply the
clamp around the single conductor concerned.
2.
Effect a long press on the
key. The InRh symbol is displayed,
then the triggering threshold. The clamp then awaits detection of the
True-Inrush current.
"------" is displayed and the "A" symbol flashes.
3.
After detection and acquisition for 100 ms, the RMS value of the True-
Inrush current is displayed, along with the PEAK+/PEAK- values
subsequently.
4.
A long press on the
key or a change of function leads to exiting
from the True-Inrush mode.
Remark :
the triggering threshold in A is 6A if the initial current is zero (starting of
installation); it is that set in the configuration (see §
) for an established current
(overload in a installation).
3.11 POWER MEASUREMENTS W, VA, VAR AND PF
This measurement is possible en single-phase or in balanced three-phase.
Reminder
: in DC or AC+DC power measurement, first correct the DC zero in
current (see §
, step 1)
