The Metrix MX0655-Z is a pure AC multi-function clamp meter, specifically developed for average-value measurements of high alternating currents up to 1000 A. The device combines the functionality of a digital multimeter with the performance of a current clamp meter, enabling precise measurement of electrical quantities in various application areas. Due to its ergonomic design, the clamp fits comfortably in the hand and offers good readability of the display, making fieldwork more efficient. The clamp is designed for use in installations of category CAT III 600 V according to EN 61010, making it suitable for use in industrial and commercial electrical installations.
Applications
The MX0655-Z is suitable for measuring alternating current, direct voltage, alternating voltage, resistance, frequency, as well as continuity testing and diode testing. It is particularly used in electrical installations, maintenance work on electrical systems, and in industrial manufacturing, where quick and reliable current and voltage measurements are required. The clamp is designed for use in environments with high electrical loads, with the CAT III 600 V category ensuring safe measurement in medium voltage ranges.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The device features a 4,000-count display, providing high resolution and good readability even under difficult lighting conditions. Additionally, a 42-segment bargraph is integrated, offering a quick overview of the measured value. The clamp measures alternating currents in the range of 0.05 A to 1000 A and direct currents from 0.1 A to 1000 A. Voltage measurement covers alternating voltage from 0.5 V to 750 V and direct voltage from 0.2 V to 1000 V. The resistance range extends from 0.2 Ω to 4 kΩ. Frequency measurement is possible in the range of 10 Hz to 4 kHz for current measurements and 10 Hz to 10 kHz for voltage measurements. Additional functions include HOLD for display storage, PEAK for capturing signals with a resolution of 1 ms, as well as MIN-MAX capture and REL for relative measurements.
Technology Explained Simply
The MX0655-Z operates using an average-value measurement method, suitable for sinusoidal alternating currents. The measurement is performed via a Hall-effect sensor, which measures the magnetic flux around the conductor and converts it into a current value. The jaw opening diameter is 40 mm, allowing conductors with a diameter up to 40 mm to be measured. The clamp is designed for use in electrical installations of category CAT III 600 V, ensuring high safety during measurement in industrial and commercial environments. The display is digital and offers high resolution, making even small changes in the measured value clearly visible.
Compatibility and Accessories
The MX0655-Z can be combined with various test leads and accessories suitable for use with multimeters and clamp meters. These include test leads with 4 mm plugs, test probes, crocodile clips, and accessory sets for electricians. Combining the clamp with appropriate test leads enables safe and precise measurement at various connection points.
Mounting and Installation
The clamp is placed directly around the conductor to be measured, taking into account the jaw opening diameter of 40 mm. The clamp is set to the desired measurement function using the switch, and the measured value is displayed on the screen. Operation is performed via buttons that activate various functions such as HOLD, PEAK, MIN-MAX, and REL. The clamp is designed for use in electrical installations, with the safety category CAT III 600 V ensuring safe measurement.
Advantages in Operation
The MX0655-Z offers a combination of multimeter and current measurement functions in a single device, reducing the number of required measuring instruments. The high resolution of the 4,000-count display and the integrated bargraph enable fast and precise measurement. Functions such as HOLD, PEAK, and MIN-MAX capture support the analysis of measured values, especially for dynamic or fluctuating signals. The clamp is designed for use in industrial and commercial environments and offers high safety through the CAT III 600 V category.
