Product Description for True RMS current clamp BE42
Non-contact DC and AC voltage measurement and AC current measurement with maximum precision
The compact BE42 true RMS current clamp with integrated flashlight function enables particularly precise measurements of the true in industrial and building technology systems or even in confined control or confined control cabinets - without having to interrupt the circuit. having to interrupt the circuit. The current strength is determined completely contact-free by measuring the electromagnetic field. Cable connections do not have to be disconnected or interrupted. This makes testing and maintenance work particularly efficient. Thanks to the battery-saving function "Auto-Power-Off", the device switches off fully automatically when not in use. fully automatically when not in use.
Ideal for:
- Service technicians for trouble-free maintenance of machines and systems
- Craftsmen and electricians working in confined switch cabinets, in building services and for building maintenance
Professional equipment for all common measuring methods
With its professional full equipment and functionality, the BE42 clamp ammeter leaves almost nothing to be desired and surpasses conventional conventional multimeters by far. The all-round current measuring instrument is suitable for measuring direct and alternating alternating voltage, alternating current, resistance and continuity testing of circuits, fuses and contacts. In addition, the clamp The clamp ammeter also impresses with convenient functions that make work easier, such as a such as a HOLD function, MAX display, battery status display, warning warning when the measuring range is exceeded and practical LED lighting
Practical one-handed operation
All measurement results are clearly displayed on the backlit
.
LCD display. The measuring method is selected conveniently and easily easily via a practical rotary switch.
Combines ergonomics and precision in top form
Where other measuring devices have to fit due to limited space and visibility design, the compact and ergonomically optimized current clamp shows its true optimized BE42 current clamp shows its true size. All display and and operating elements, as well as the slim, wide-opening clamp and the opening lever, are designed for comfortable one-handed operation. one-handed operation. An all-round anti-shock rubber coating makes the BE42 current clamp, which is dust-protected to IP40, is particularly easy to grip, reliably protects them from knocks and damage and also prevents also prevents unintentional slipping when placed on non-horizontal surfaces.

Difference between conventional measuring devices and measuring devices with true RMS function
A digital measuring device without true RMS function assumes that the measured AC assumes that the measured AC signal is sinusoidal and calculates the measured raw measured raw signal for the display. In reality, however, the However, in reality the current flow is never purely sinusoidal; consumers such as switching power supplies, speed or power regulators etc. cause which in turn cause distorted current curves. As these are no longer purely sinusoidal, they cannot be measured correctly without the True RMS function.
True RMS measuring devices can also
measure
non-sinusoidal
signal curves correctlyand
are thereforenon-sinusoidal signal characteristics and are therefore able to measure the true rms value of any alternating variable directly. The True Root Mean Square" (which translates as "true root mean square") square averaging) stands for the correct determination and output of the true of the true effective value.
