The Metrix MX0350Z is a compact multi-function clamp meter designed specifically for use in electrical installations with current ratings up to 400 A AC. It is particularly suitable for applications in apartments, small craft or commercial enterprises, where precise and safe measurement of electrical quantities is required. The device combines the functions of a current clamp with those of a multimeter, enabling simultaneous measurement of current and voltage. The clamp meter is equipped with a TRMS method (True Root Mean Square), ensuring accurate measurement of alternating quantities even with non-sinusoidal signals. The display offers a resolution of 6000 points, enabling high accuracy when reading values.

Applications

The MX0350Z is designed for electricians, service personnel in the electrical engineering field, and service providers in the energy supply sector. It is particularly used for maintenance, repair, and inspection of electrical systems, where quick and reliable measurement of voltage, current, resistance, frequency, and continuity is required. The compact design and ergonomic handle allow for comfortable handling even in tight working conditions.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device offers a wide range of measurement functions: it can measure alternating voltage up to 600.0 V AC, direct voltage up to 600.0 V DC, alternating current up to 400.0 A AC, resistance up to 600.0 Ω, and frequency. Additionally, it includes a continuity test and a diode test. The HOLD function allows the current measurement value to be held, for example, in difficult access situations or for documentation purposes. The clamp meter is rated for category CAT III 600 V, ensuring high safety during measurements on electrical systems.

Technology Explained Simply

TRMS technology (True Root Mean Square) ensures that even with distorted alternating voltages or currents, such as those occurring with non-linear loads, the actual RMS value is accurately captured. This is particularly important to avoid measurement errors that may occur when using average-reading instruments. The 6000-point display offers high resolution, making even small changes in the measurement value clearly visible. The jaw opening diameter is 26 mm, sufficient to encompass most conductors in smaller installations.

Compatibility and Accessories

Various accessories are available to extend functionality, including test leads with 4 mm plugs (straight and angled), test probes, crocodile clips, and an electrician’s accessory set. These components allow flexible adaptation to different measurement tasks, such as circuit testing, device inspection, or resistance measurements. The accessories are rated for categories CAT III and CAT IV, providing high safety during work.

Mounting and Installation

The MX0350Z is placed directly around the conductor, with no additional mounting or installation work required. The clamp opens via a lever mechanism, allowing it to be closed around the conductor. Measurement is contactless, minimizing the risk of short circuits or electrical injuries. Operation is via a central rotary switch that allows selection of the measurement function. The display is clearly structured and offers optimal readability.

Operational Advantages

The combination of a current clamp and multimeter in a single device reduces the number of required measuring instruments and speeds up the workflow. TRMS measurement ensures high accuracy, even with complex loads. The safety category CAT III 600 V provides user protection during measurements on electrical systems. The device is delivered with two batteries (1.5 V LR06/AA), a transport bag, an instruction manual in five languages, and a set of test leads with test probes. This equipment enables immediate operation without additional preparation.
