General
Enclosure diameter	52 mm

This clamp for current and earthing measurement is specifically designed for the installation testers C.A 6113 and C.A 6116, extending their functionality. It enables precise measurements in the range of 5.0 mA to 19.99 A and supports selective earthing measurement, making it particularly suitable for professional testing in electrical contracting. The clamp features a jaw opening diameter of 52 mm, ensuring secure and reliable encirclement of conductors and cables in typical installation environments. Thanks to its ergonomic design, it is designed for easy and comfortable handling, even during prolonged measurement tasks.

Applications

The clamp is primarily used in the field of installation testing, especially for checking protective conductors and earthing systems. Selective earthing measurement allows individual earthing points to be tested specifically, without affecting other parts of the installation. This is particularly important in complex systems, where precise localization of fault sources or resistance deviations is required. The measurement of alternating currents in the range of 5.0 mA to 19.99 A covers typical applications in electrical installation, such as testing protective conductor currents or monitoring leakage currents.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The clamp measures current via inductive measurement, where the conductor or cable bundle to be measured is fully inserted into the measurement gap. The measurement accuracy is designed for professional applications, with the specified values applying in the range of 5.0 mA to 19.99 A. Selective earthing measurement allows targeted testing of individual earthing points, enabling the reliability of the entire earthing system to be verified. The clamp is designed for use with the installation testers C.A 6113 and C.A 6116, with communication and data transfer taking place via the respective interfaces of the devices.

Technology Explained Simply

The inductive measurement method used in this clamp is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When an electric current flows through a conductor, it generates a magnetic field, which is detected by the clamp. This signal is then converted into a current value, which is displayed on the screen of the installation tester. The clamp is designed to provide sufficient sensitivity even at low currents starting from 5.0 mA, which is important for testing protective conductor currents. The measurement is contactless, increasing the operator’s safety and allowing measurement without interrupting the power supply.

Compatibility and Accessories

The clamp is exclusively intended for use with the installation testers C.A 6113 and C.A 6116. Compatibility is ensured through the specific interface and electrical control. The clamp is delivered with an operating manual that explains correct handling and use for earthing measurements.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is done by simply attaching the clamp to the corresponding connection socket on the installation tester. The clamp is not permanently installed but can be connected and disconnected as needed. The connection is made via a mechanical and electrical interface, ensuring secure and reliable data transmission. Operation is performed via the buttons and displays of the main device, with the clamp functioning as an external measurement module.

Advantages in Operation

The clamp provides precise and reliable measurement of alternating currents and earthing resistances, with selective earthing measurement enabling targeted testing of individual points. The ergonomic shape facilitates handling, especially in tight or hard-to-reach areas. The contactless nature of the measurement increases safety and reduces the risk of short circuits or electric shocks. Integration with the installation testers C.A 6113 and C.A 6116 enables direct evaluation of measurement results and documentation of tests.

Scope of Delivery

The delivery includes the clamp for current and earthing measurement and the operating manual. The clamp is designed as an external measurement module and requires use with one of the specified installation testers.
