• Elliptical clamp shape improves access to earth cables and straps up to 50 mm
• Low maintenance flat jaw interface
• Measures ground resistance from 0.05 Ω to 1500 Ω
• Measures true RMS ground leakage current from 0.5 mA rms to 35 A rms
• CAT IV 600 V safety rating
• Backlit LCD display

The DET14C and DET24C digital earth/ground clamps represent a new generation of clamp-on resistance testers. These instruments induce a test current into earth systems and measure ground resistance in multi-ground installations without needing to disconnect the ground. They offer market leading access, advanced features, simple operation, and CAT IV 600 V safety protection.

This clamp-on stakeless ground tester can also:

• Balance elements of a ground to mitigate noise
• Balance ground circuits
• Measure continuity of ground circuits in headends and hubs

The DET14C and DET24C also offer a true RMS AC current measurement facility up to 35 Amps. The instrument’s ability to measure current flowing in an earth cable is a useful safety feature, especially if the earth cable has to be disconnected. 

The elliptical shaped head design offers improved access to cables and earth straps in space constrained locations. The clamp head accommodates up to 37 mm diameter cable and 50 mm earth tapes making them suitable for use in power stations, substations, towers, and many other facilities.

The DET14C can store results for later on-screen recall and with the DET24C, you can download results via Bluetooth® into PowerDB or PowerDB Lite (Megger’s acceptance and maintenance test data management software). Stored data is indexed using a sequential serial number together with a time and date stamp for each record

• DC and AC current up to 1500 A
• True RMS measurement for greater accuracy
• Large jaw size safely assists with uninsulated conductor measurements
• 750 VAC and 1000 VDC
• Resistance, continuity, and frequency
• Peak, min/max, and data-hold functions

The DCM1500 is a 1500 A TRMS clamp meter that maeasures up to 1500 A AC or DC and offers 750 VAC and 1000 VDC ranges, making it ideal for use in the installation, maintenance, fault-finding, and monitoring of large AC or DC electrical systems and equipment - anywhere where there is a need to measure current, volts, resistance, and frequency.

By using True RMS measurement techniques, the DCM1500 avoids the errors that can occur when non-sinusoidal waveforms created by today’s complex loads are measured using traditional, average-sensing clamp meters.

The DCM1500 is safety rated to IEC 61010-1 CAT IV 600 V, and is drop-tested to 1.2 m onto a hard floor. The tactile barrier below the jaws of the instrument ensures a safe working distance for the operator’s hand when measuring current on live uninsulated conductors, although additional personal protection must still be used.

The instrument has a numeric displays with large clear digits complemented by a high-resolution digital bar graph, which is useful for trending and indicating fluctuations in measurements. The backlight enables you to see the screen clearly in poorly lit areas such as distribution cupboards and corners of switch rooms, and the "data-hold" feature enables you to use the instrument on hard-to-access cables, where otherwise the display may be impossible to see. The DCM1500 comes supplied with test leads, carry case, and a full 1-year manufacturer’s warranty.
