Clamp Multimeter METRACLIP 86
Reminder :
the arrow on the jaws of the clamp (see the diagram below) must point
in the presumed direction of flow of the current from the source (producer) to the
load (consumer)
The measurement is displayed on screen.
Remark :
You can also measure the three-phase power on a balanced 4-wire
network by proceeding in the same way, or by proceeding as for the measurement
on a single-phase network, then multiplying the value found by three.
3.12 “DIRECTION OF ROTATION OF THE PHASES” OR “ORDER OF
THE PHASES” MODE
This mode is used to determine the order of the phases of a three-phase network
by the "2-wire" method.
To determine the order of the phases, proceed as follows:
Step 1: determination of a "reference" period:
1.
Set the switch to
. The
rdy
symbol is displayed; the device is
ready for the first phase order determination measurement;
2.
Connect the black lead with crocodile clip to the
COM
terminal and
the red lead with test probe to "
+
";
3.
Connect the crocodile clip to the presumed L1 phase and apply the
red test probe to the presumed L2 phase;
4.
Press the yellow
key. The ref symbol blinks on the screen. The
instrument is ready to determine the reference period. When the
reference period has been determined, an audible signal sounds and
the ref and
symbols are displayed.
Remark :
if the reference period has not been determined, the device emits a beep
and displays the "Err Hz" or "ErrV" message. The
symbol flashes, then the "rdy"
message is displayed on the screen. Repeat the procedure from 4.
