Chauvin C177A AC Current Clamp
The Chauvin C177A AC Current Clamp provides a practical way to measure AC current flowing through a cable without opening the electrical circuit. Its measurement range extends from 5 mA to 200 A AC, allowing the probe to cover both low and higher current measurements within its stated range. A maximum clamping diameter of 52 mm also allows it to fit around comparatively large conductors.
Designed for use with Chauvin Arnoux multi-function installation testers, the clamp works with the C.A 6116, C.A 6116N and C.A 6117 models. The Chauvin C177A AC Current Clamp uses a transformation ratio of 10,000:1 and connects through a proprietary CA connector. Its 6.5 ft (2 m) lead provides useful reach between the measurement point and the connected tester.
Practical construction features include a detachable arm and a shielded cord. The clamp arrangement lets current be measured around a cable while helping to insulate the user from dangerous voltages in the circuit. With a stated safety category of CAT III and CAT IV at 600 V, the Chauvin C177A AC Current Clamp is suited to compatible electrical installation testing work.
