The Metrix MX0355Z is a TRMS AC/DC multi-function clamp meter designed for use in smaller electrical installations. It is particularly suitable for electricians working in residential apartments, small craft or commercial businesses. The device combines the functions of a current clamp meter with those of a multimeter, enabling measurement of alternating and direct voltage, alternating and direct current, resistance, as well as continuity testing. The clamp meter features an ergonomic design ensuring safe and comfortable handling.
Applications
The MX0355Z is suitable for applications in electrical fuse boxes, checking battery power supplies, or maintaining smaller electrical systems. Due to its compact design and jaw opening diameter of 30 mm, it is specifically intended for conductors with smaller cross-sections. The safety category CAT III 600 V allows use on electrical systems up to 600 V, meeting requirements for residential and commercial electrical installations.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The device features a 6000-point display ensuring high resolution and good readability of measurement values. The measurement method is based on true RMS (TRMS) measurement, which provides accurate readings even with non-sinusoidal alternating currents. Current measurement ranges cover values from 60.00 A to 400.0 A for alternating and direct current. Voltage measurement is possible in the range of 60.00 V to 600.0 V for alternating and direct voltage. The resistance measurement range extends up to 600.0 Ω. Additionally, the clamp meter offers an acoustic continuity test and a diode test.
Technology Explained Simply
TRMS measurement (True Root Mean Square) captures the actual RMS value of a current or voltage, regardless of the waveform of the alternating voltage. This is particularly important for modern electronic devices, which often generate non-sinusoidal currents. The automatic DC zero adjustment enables differential measurements, allowing for example the detection of small changes in current or voltage values. Functions such as Range Hold, Δ-Zero, and Peak assist the user with specific measurement tasks, such as capturing peak values or holding a measurement value.
Compatibility and Accessories
To extend functionality, various accessories are available, including test leads with 4 mm connectors, test probes, crocodile clips, and current clamps. These components are suitable for different application scenarios, such as measuring at terminals, wires, or electronic assemblies. The accessories are available in various versions, including with PVC or silicone insulation, and in different safety categories such as CAT III and CAT IV.
Mounting and Installation
The clamp meter is used without additional mounting or installation. It is directly placed onto the conductors to be measured, with the jaw opening diameter of 30 mm limiting the maximum conductor thickness. Operation is performed via a central rotary switch that allows selection of measurement functions. The display is clearly structured and offers optimal readability.
Operational Advantages
The MX0355Z offers high measurement accuracy through TRMS technology and a wide range of functions in a compact device. The ergonomic shape and simple operation increase work efficiency. The safety standard IEC/EN 61010 CAT III 600 V ensures safe operation in typical electrical installations. Functions such as Range Hold and Δ-Zero facilitate the performance of specific measurement tasks.
Scope of Delivery
The device is delivered with an operating manual. Batteries are not included.
