The DCM1500S solar clamp meter has been designed to be used on electrical systems and equipment, including solar/photovoltaic installations where, there is a need to measure current, volts, resistance, and frequency. It is therefore intended for use while installing, maintaining, fault-finding, or monitoring those systems. In addition to voltage and current measurements, the DCM1500S has the ability to measure resistance, diode, capacitance, temperature, and frequency.
It can measuring up to 2000 V DC and 1500 V AC (using the PVHV Leads), as well as 1500 A AC or DC. It has a large, clear backlit display and an automatic torch in the jaw to make it easier to ses in poorly lit areas. Also, using the free Megger Link App, the measurement value can be remotely monitored on a smart device using its built-in Bluetooth. This will give a live trend graph and offer the ability to sample and log the values for later analysis.
The instrument's smart "data-hold" function expands the standard hold function by giving the operator an audible warning if the 'held' reading increases by 50 counts or above. "Min/Max" hold gives you the ability to measure the maximum and minimum values over a period of time, with each value selectable in turn. Other features of the DCM1500S include a high frequency rejection filter, inrush current measurement, internal data logging, a non-contact volt seek mode, and manual DC Amp zeroing.
