FLIR CM72 Commercial Clamp Meter

The FLIR CM72 Commercial Clamp Meter provides a broad set of functions for electrical testing and fault finding. It measures AC current up to 600 A and AC or DC voltage up to 600 V. It also supports resistance, continuity, frequency, capacitance and diode measurements.

Its slim clamp and narrow 35 mm jaw opening make it easier to reach conductors in crowded panels and cabinets. Two LED work lights illuminate the test area, while the backlit LCD keeps readings visible in poor light. Min/max, hold and auto power-off functions also help users work efficiently and review changing values.

For varied electrical systems, the FLIR CM72 Commercial Clamp Meter includes True RMS, LoZ and VFD modes. Rubberised, double-moulded grips help the instrument sit securely in one hand, while its lightweight shape supports comfortable use. Gold-tipped silicone test leads are supplied, and optional TA72 or TA74 current probe accessories can extend maximum current measurement to 3000 A.

 

Key Benefits
  • Measures several electrical variables with one handheld instrument.
  • Reaches awkward wiring through its slim clamp and 35 mm jaw opening.
  • Improves visibility with two LED work lights and a backlit LCD.
  • Uses True RMS measurement for reliable readings across a range of variables.
  • Supports VFD AC current measurements on variable frequency drive systems.
  • LoZ voltage modes help users take low-impedance AC and DC voltage readings.
  • Min/max and hold functions make it easier to capture and review values.
  • Auto power-off can reduce unnecessary battery use and may be disabled when required.
  • Rubberised, double-moulded grips provide a secure and comfortable hold.
  • Optional flexible probe accessories provide access to more awkward conductors and increase current capacity.

 

Common Applications

FLIR CM72 Commercial Clamp Meter is suitable for a range of testing, maintenance and inspection tasks, including:

  • Measuring AC current in electrical conductors.
  • Checking AC and DC voltage in electrical systems.
  • Testing wiring inside crowded panels and cabinets.
  • Measuring VFD AC current.
  • Checking resistance and continuity.
  • Measuring electrical frequency.
  • Testing capacitance and diodes.
  • Taking readings in confined or poorly lit areas.

 

Why Choose This Model?

The FLIR CM72 Commercial Clamp Meter combines the measuring instrument, clamp, display and supplied test leads in one unit. TA72 and TA74 are optional current probe accessories rather than complete alternative meters, and they are used to extend current measurement up to 3000 A.
