Introduction
The i800 AC Current Clamp, the Clamp, has been designed for use
with multimeters, recorders, power analyzers, safety testers, etc., for
accurate non-intrusive ac current measurement.
Using the latest transformer technology, the Clamp measures
currents from 100 mA to 800 A.
The Clamp complies with the safety standards EN61010-2-032 for
input and output circuits.

  • Page 1 AC Current Clamp Instruction Sheet Introduction The i800 AC Current Clamp, the Clamp, has been designed for use with multimeters, recorders, power analyzers, safety testers, etc., for accurate non-intrusive ac current measurement. Using the latest transformer technology, the Clamp measures currents from 100 mA to 800 A.
  • Page 2: Safety Instructions

    Safety Instructions Please read this section carefully. It will make you familiar with the most important safety instructions for handling the Clamp. In this Warning instruction sheet, a identifies conditions and actions that Caution pose hazard(s) to the user. A identifies conditions and actions that may damage the Clamp or the test instruments.
  • Page 3: Operating Instructions

    A detent action produced by SIAC™ can be felt when opening the jaws. This detent action should always be present in use. If the jaws open smoothly, service is indicated and the Clamp should be inspected at the nearest Fluke Service Center. See “Contacting Fluke”. Operating Instructions...
  • Page 4: Meter Readings

    Note Wire size and the position of the wire within the probe jaws does not affect measurement accuracy. Multimeter readings displayed in milliamps (mA) can be read directly as amperes of conductor current. Readings displayed in amperes (A) must be multiplied times 1000 to obtain the amperes of conductor current.
  • Page 5: Maintenance

    Performance Test Verify Probe accuracy by measuring the output of a 20 A (±0.15 %), 60 Hz current source (Fluke 5520A or equivalent). When used with a compatible DMM with ±0.35 %, or better, ac current accuracy (Fluke 8808A or equivalent), the probe should measure 20.000 A ±0.400 A (20.000 mA, ±0.400 mA).
