An AC/DC 1000V Clamp Meter is a highly versatile and essential tool for electricians, technicians, and engineers working with both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) electrical systems, especially those operating at higher voltages, up to 1000 volts.
What it is:
It’s a type of electrical meter that combines the functionality of a multimeter (for measuring voltage, resistance, continuity, etc. with the unique ability to measure current without physically breaking the circuit. This is achieved by a “clamp” jaw that opens and closes around a single conductor.
The “1000V” in its name signifies its voltage measurement category (often CAT III 1000V or CAT IV 600V) meaning it’s safely rated to measure voltages up to 1000 volts in the specified electrical environments.
