2000 A Current Clamp

{news_item:alt_text}

The new 2000/200 A heavy duty current clamp allows you to measure up to 2000 amps without cutting, disconnecting or stripping wires. It is ideal for measuring the high currents drawn by the starter motor of commercial vehicles and large engine passenger cars. This new clamp can replace both the existing PP266 (600 A), and PP253 (2000 A) clamps with improved sensitivity, lower noise and faster response.

The TA167 features a 200 A mode for better performance at lower currents and has an improved jaw size. It also features an auto power-down facility to save battery life when not in use (this feature can be disabled for battery drain / shutdown current testing). Using advanced Hall Effect sensors for improved sensitivity and high external field rejection, the TA167 delivers a breakthrough in range and accuracy to meet the challenges of modern vehicles and particularly diesel engines.

See the TA167 BNC 2000A/200A current clamp on our website.
