PCE-DC 50 Digital Multimeter Current Clamp
The PCE-DC 50 is a new digital clamp meter from PCE Instruments designed for electrical testing. It measures AC and DC current up to 1000 A through a 48 mm jaw opening. The device includes Bluetooth connectivity for data logging to a PC or smartphone and supports dual type-K thermocouple temperature measurement up to 1000°C or 1832°F.
Suits electricians and HVAC technicians needing
This meter suits professionals who need to clamp around large conductors up to 48 mm diameter and log readings wirelessly. It also fits technicians requiring simultaneous dual-channel temperature monitoring. Buyers who need true-RMS accuracy, higher voltage resolution than 500 µA, or CAT IV safety ratings should look at other instruments.
48 mm jaw opening determines maximum cable size
The 48 mm clamp aperture is the critical specification defining which conductors fit inside the jaws. It accepts cables and busbars up to that diameter for AC/DC current measurement up to 1000 A. If the target conductor exceeds 48 mm, this clamp cannot close around it and will not function for that application.

Questions about this item
Will the type-K thermocouples need periodic replacement?
The meter reads two type-K thermocouples simultaneously up to 1000 °C / 1832 °F; the probes themselves are consumable and should be replaced when insulation degrades or readings drift.
What limits continuous current measurement on large cables?
The jaw opens to 48 mm, so cables thicker than that cannot be clamped; the instrument measures up to 1000 A AC/DC within that aperture.
How much heat or noise does the clamp produce during all-day logging?
The clamp has no fan or moving parts, so it runs silently and generates negligible heat; automatic shutdown conserves battery during long sessions.
