,Hz\%. When measuring AC Voltage > 750 V, DC Voltage > 1000 V, ACA > 400.0 A / ACA > 1000 A, the buzzer will keep sounding as the overload warning. Approximate 1 minute before the meter is auto power off, the buzzer will raise constantly 5 sounds to warning.
Clamp meter 1000A can measure current upto 1000 A, in two ranges i.e. 400.0A and 1000 A. Where as Clamp meter 400A can measure current up to 400 A in two ranges i.e. 40.00A and 400.0 A. One of the two ranges can be selected manually with AUTO/MAN key. To measure the current through a cable, push the trigger(10) to open the jaws and clamp the jaws around the cable as shown in figure a and figure b.

To over come the above mentioned problem Clamp meter 400A/1000A has a unique feature called ‘‘Rotary mechanism for clamp jaws’. In this, the clamp jaws are rotating. Hence it is possible to align the clamp jaws as the orientation of bus bar/conductor while keeping Display and keys facing the user, so that user can take the readings and operate the keys.

Safe trigger mechanism The conventional clamp meters have trigger mechanism either near to left jaw or right jaw. While taking measurements on bare bus bar or bare conductor the user’s hand comes very close to bare bus bar/conductor, which increases the risk of electric shocks to the user. Also in conventional clamp meters trigger is operated with single finger, usually a thumb which causes fatigue to the user while opening or closing the clamp jaws.
