Current meters for hard-to-reach conductors
06 May 2016
A range of True RMS flexible current meters has been introduced by Martindale Electric to help electrical professionals get to hard-to-reach conductors.

Suitable for measuring conductors of different shapes and sizes including fuse holders, the latest series of meters from Martindale Electric includes the CM95 for high resolution measurement down to 1mA and the CM100 for measuring high current up to 3000A.
Using advanced flexible current sensors, the recent additions are said to open up new low current applications without having to break into the circuit. Furthermore, the lightweight sensor heads can accommodate conductors up to 16cm in diameter for the CM100 and can be threaded through small apertures. There is no maximum overload to worry about.
The flex of the CM95 will accommodate conductors to 8.5cm and is only 5.5mm in diameter, making it extremely flexible so that it can be passed easily around a conductor for simple attachment. With current ranges staring at 4A and a resolution of 1mA it can be used for testing in crowded cabinets or other tight spots where conventional clamp meters won't fit.
Lightweight and simple to use, the CM95 and CM100 both feature a separate display module and come supplied with a 1.8m lead to provide users with greater freedom when working in areas with restricted access. The meters also feature long battery life and a Min / Max function for monitoring of peak loads. A display backlight enables easy viewing where ambient lighting is poor.
The CM100 and CM95 have a BS EN61010-1 CAT IV 600V safety rating suitable for supply side applications.
Complete with alkaline batteries and full instructions, the latest range of flexible current meters from Martindale Electric also come with a 2 year warranty as standard.
