PCE Instruments PCE-DC1 Mini Digital Current Clamp measurement tool 200 A AC/DC 18 mm aperture

Compact Clamp Meter for Tight Spaces

The PCE Instruments PCE-DC1 is a mini digital current clamp designed for electricians and technicians who need to measure AC and DC current up to 200 A in confined locations. Its 18 mm aperture fits around conductors inside cabinets and ducting where larger meters cannot reach.

Simple Setup with Automatic Ranging

Open the clamp jaws, select the function, and the meter auto-ranges across 50 Hz and 60 Hz circuits. The backlit LCD with 3 2/3 positions stays readable in low light, while the built-in flashlight illuminates the measurement point. Remember to use the zero-reset function before DC readings to remove offset error, and note that AC accuracy is specified at ±3.0% plus 8 digits with 100 mA resolution.

Suited for Spot Checks, Not Precision Logging

This tool suits maintenance staff and automotive technicians who need quick, non-contact voltage detection and current checks on live conductors. It lacks data-logging output or higher-resolution ranges, so engineers requiring certified calibration traces or sub-100 mA resolution should consider a bench-grade analyser instead.
