Clamp Multimeter METRACLIP 86
English
For the power factor (PF) and the powers VA and var, the measurement is possible
only in AC or AC+DC.
3.11.1 Measurement of single-phase power
1.
Set the switch to
and select VA, var, or PF by pressing the
key until the desired choice is reached;
2.
The device automatically displays AC+DC. To select AC, DC, or
AC+DC, press the
key until the desired choice is reached.
3.
Connect the black lead to the
COM
terminal and the red lead to "
+
";
4.
Place the test probes or the crocodile clips of the black lead on the
neutral (N), then those of the red lead on the L phase.
5.
Clamp only the corresponding conductor, respecting the direction;
The measurement is displayed on screen.
3.11.2 Balanced three-phase power measurement
1.
Set the switch to
and select VA, var, or PF by pressing the
key until the desired choice is reached
2.
Press the yellow key until the
symbol is displayed.
3.
The device automatically displays AC+DC. To select AC, DC, or
AC+DC, press the yellow
key until the desired choice is reached.
4.
Connect the black lead to the
COM
terminal and the red lead to "
+
";
5.
Connect the leads and the clamp to the circuit as follows:
If the red lead is connected…
…and the black lead is
connected
…then the clamp is on
