Megger DCM1500S Solar Clamp Meter 1013-357

Ideal for use in the installation, maintenance, monitoring and testing of photovoltaic systems as well standard AC or DC electrical equipment.

The DC current measurement can also be used in applications including battery monitoring, automotive, charging and load circuits, electric vehicle servicing, lift maintenance, UPS commissioning, servicing and maintenance, electro-plating plants and welding equipment servicing as well as domestic power generation from solar panels and wind-turbines.

Megger DCM1500S Comes Supplied With:

• DCM 4mm Lead Set (Inc. Probes and Crocodile Clips)
• 1013-358TP-90 Thermocouple Probe
• 1013-364PVHV1 Lead (4mm Plugs)
• 1013-362PVHV2 Lead (MC4PV Plugs)
• 1013-363Hard Carry Case
  
  

It has a large clear backlit display and an automatic torch in the jaw to assist use in poorly lit areas. Using the free Megger Link App, the measurement value can be remotely monitored on a smart device using the built-in Bluetooth®. This will give a live trend graph and offer the ability to sample and log the values for later analysis. The smart data-hold expands the standard hold function by giving the operator an audible warning if the “held” reading increases by 50 counts or above.

Min/Max hold provides the ability to measure the maximum and minimum values over a period of time, with each value selectable in turn. Other features include a High Frequency Rejection Filter, inrush current measurement, internal data logging, a non-contact volt seek mode and manual DC Amp zeroing

In addition to voltage and current measurement the DCM1500S has the ability to measure Resistance, Diode, Capacitance, temperature and Frequency.The DCM1500S is safety rated to IEC 61010-1 and IEC/EN61010-2-033 CAT IV 600V, and CAT III 1000V

Applications:

The DCM1500S is designed to be used on electrical systems and equipment, including Solar/Photovoltaic installations where, there is a need to measure current, volts, resistance and frequency. It is therefore intended for use while installing, maintaining, fault-finding or monitoring those systems.

The tactile barrier below the jaws of the instrument ensures a safe working distance for the operator’s hand when measuring current on live uninsulated conductors, although additional personal protection must still be used. The Smart Hold allows increases in measurements to be monitored with an audible tone. The Max/Min and In-rush modes enable maximum load currents from equipment to be identified such as start-up currents to motors and heaters.
