Digital Current Clamp 200 A 600 V

The PCE-DC2 is a handheld clamp meter for electricians and technicians who need to measure AC and DC current up to 200.0 A without breaking the circuit. It also reads AC voltage to 600 V and resistance, with a backlit LCD and automatic range selection for quick checks in cabinets or ducts. White LEDs illuminate the contact point in low light.

Upgrades from basic testers

Replacing a simple multimeter or non-contact pen, this tool adds true-rms AC current at 50/60 Hz with ±(2.5 % + 8 digits) accuracy and a zero-reset function for DC readings. The 18 mm jaw opens wide enough for standard conductors, and the memory button holds values while you move to a safer spot to record them.

Suits field service and panel work

It suits professionals who need one-handed current, voltage and continuity checks in tight or dim enclosures. Users who require higher amperage ranges, DC voltage measurement beyond the stated limit, or advanced logging functions should look at other instruments.

Questions about this item

How wide is the clamp aperture for fitting around a conductor?

The clamp opens to 18 mm, so any cable or busbar must fit inside that diameter.

What is the key step when measuring DC current to avoid a zero-offset error?

Press the zero-reset button with the jaws closed and no conductor inside before clamping on the live wire.

Which user-replaceable power source runs the backlit LCD and LED illumination?

A standard 9 V battery powers the display backlight and the integrated white LEDs; replace it when the low-battery symbol appears.
