VOLTCRAFT VC513 80A Clamp meter Resolution 1 mA CAT III 600 V;Display (counts): 4000 Highly precise for direct current,

The VC-513 is a high-precision DC clamp meter that also measures AC current.

The special pliers head with optimized coil and Hall element for direct current measurement provides extremely high precision when measuring. They are 10 times more accurate than conventional clamp-on ammeters.

Although the clamp also controls the AC current measurement, it is particularly well suited to measurements on battery storage devices, chargers and charging infrastructures and to backup battery systems.

For quick and easy measurement of AC currents up to 80A
Unlike with multimeters, no circuit interruption required.

Zero (DC) & Min / Max in combination
This allows series measurement for multiple charging systems in service or quality assurance. In this way, it can be measured very quickly and very precisely in clusters. If the clamp shows unusual Min / Max values after a cluster measurement, only this one cluster must be measured in detail. This is never a problem with alternating current, but with direct current it needs to set the zero point (Delta measurement) with simultaneously activated Min / Max measurement.

Multimeter functions
The device reads voltage, frequency, temperature, capacity and resistance with automatic range selection and come with diode and acoustic continuity testing. In addition, meter allows contact-less voltage testing (NCV).

High-contrast 4000 counts display
Easily readable display in all light conditions. This model tops any common clamp meters used in badly lit electrical enclosures. Readings of up to 5999 (6000 counts) are always displayed as 4-digit numbers regardless of where the decimal mark is placed.

Hold button perfectly reachable with the thumb
The Hold button is used to store cases where the display cannot be read during measuring. Here, this button is placed ergonomically at the position of the thumb. You don't have to look for it, just like a conventional pliers.

Work area lighting
The meter features a bright built-in LED with a lens that can be turned on to light up the area directly in front of the meter.

Compact and robust
The shock-proof device features a composite enclosure including a protective rubber layer. And the rubber-coating also provides lots of grip.

Temperature reading included
The clamp meter comes with a temperature reading function using K-type thermocouple probes. The included air temperature sensor can be swapped with any Voltcraft K-type thermocouple probe to determine the temperature of as mixtures, fluids or surfaces (760°C max).

True RMS readings ensure accuracy
True RMS measurement enables reading of asymmetrical voltage and amperage with wave forms other than a sinus. Asymmetric voltages are very common in various types of dimmers, speed limiters, synchonised switches, pulse-type chargers, or scale model speed controllers. Which means that in these cases conventional meters displaying average readings are prone to large measurement errors.

Factory calibration ensures accurate readings
Calibration according to manufacturer standards is part of Voltcraft Quality Assurance. This ensures high quality products and compliance with tolerance limits as outlined in the user manual. This does not include certification.
