Hioki clamp meters are best-in-class measuring devices incorporating Hioki’ s expertise in current sensing technology. The 3280-10F is an average rectifying 1000A AC clamp meter that features a broad operating temperature range of -25°C to 65°C, thin and compact clamp core and optional flexible current sensor that you can attach to let you get into the tightest spots.
Measurements taken with the Hioki 3280-10F (which uses the mean value method) and the the Hioki 3280-20F (which uses the true RMS method) are compared.
Observe the difference between readings from these two types of instruments when measuring a distorted waveform that contains harmonic components such as those produced by inverters and switching power supplies.
