Product Offerings
The company offers products for energy performance, regulatory testing, environmental measurements, and installation supervision.
Current Clamps Overview
Current clamps measure electrical currents without circuit interruption, providing outputs proportional to the measured current.
AC Current Clamps
These operate as a variant of a current transformer using a magnetic core to induce current in a secondary coil, with common ratios like 1000:1.
AC/DC Current Clamps
Utilizing the Hall effect, these clamps are suitable for both AC and DC measurements, offering high accuracy and low phase shift.
Measurement Procedures
Connect the clamp to the instrument, select the appropriate range, clamp around a single conductor, and read the current value. For low currents, multiple turns through the probe jaws can enhance accuracy.

Current clamps Pinces ampèremétriques pour courant AC Current measurement Série MN A modern method for measuring electrical currents Several Chauvin Arnoux® clamps are patented for their unique circuitry and design. Circuit magnétique Iron core Conductor input This same principle is applied to a current clamp (figure 2). The articulated magnetic core holds the coil B2 and clamps onto a conductor where the current I1 is flowing. B1 is simply the conductor where the user is measuring the current with the number of turns N1 equal to one. The current sensor clamped around the conductor provides an...
