Flexible coil clamp meters aid inspection and navigation

They can easily snake around obstacles to achieve accurate measurements and readings, adding up to 3000A AC current for multiple conductor measurements. Both products are available in 10in flexible coil lengths for easy maneuverability and convenience, or 18in flexible coil lengths for larger and multiple conductor measurements, double-wrap requirements, and deeper access.

Portable, lightweight, and built to withstand a 3m drop, the CM55/57 and TA72/74 also provide bright, dual LED work lights for illumination when taking readings in poorly lit locations and in deep, crowded cabinets. 

"FLIR’s new flexible clamp meters were designed to add safety and convenience to electrical inspections, making it easier to take measurements around multiple conductors, crowded panels, tight switch gears, large bus bars, and wire bundles,” said Rickard Lindvall, vice president and general manager of FLIR’s Instruments segment. "Those who already own a clamp meter but want the same flexibility of the CM55 or CM57 can pair most DMMs and clamp meters with a TA72 or TA74 probe accessory for easy inspection and navigation.”

The CM55/57 clamp meters feature Bluetooth communication for remote viewing and data transfer to iOS and Android devices via the FLIR Tools mobile app, so data can be quickly shared and analysed directly from a jobsite. Users can even connect multiple units wirelessly for remote viewing of multiphase systems. The TA72 and TA74 probe accessories are equipped with a standard banana plug and voltage signal output, making them compatible with DMMs and clamp meters of any brand.
