HIOKI CM3281 AC Clamp Meter
Large Jaw Lets You Clamp with Ease, ‌Measure thick cables right at the terminal

OVERVIEW

Hioki clamp meters are best-in-class measuring devices incorporating Hioki’ s expertise in current sensing technology. The CM3281 is an average rectified 2000 A AC clamp meter that features a broad operating temperature range of -25°C to 65°C, thin and compact clamp core and optional flexible current sensor that you can attach to let you get into the tightest spots.

CAT IV 300 V
CAT III 600 V
 

Large Jaw Lets You Clamp with Ease
New and innovative design lets you get between narrow cable gaps despite large jaw offering, improving work efficiency at the worksite. The compact meter delivers a wide measurement range from a few amperes up to 2000 A.
 

FEATURES

A pocket clamp meter that can use flexible sensors
When connected to an optional flexible current sensor*, the CM3281 can be used to measure the current flowing in pairs of wires or in tangled or complexly routed wires around which it was not possible to apply a clamp-on sensor in the past.

* AC FLEXIBLE CURRENT SENSOR CT6280 (4200 A AC, Φ130 mm)

Essential for electrical work: A thin card tester that fits in the pocket with all the capabilities of a clamp meter
The CM3281 delivers all the functionality of a clamp meter and card tester in the form factor of the latter. In addition to current measurement, this single instrument delivers voltage measurement, continuity check, and resistance measurement functionality.
