1.4. FUNCTIONS
PAC 15 and PAC 16 ammeter clamps are used to measure DC currents up to 600 A, AC currents up to
400 Arms (600 A peak), and combined AC+DC currents without opening the circuit in which the currents
flow. They indicate the shape and amplitude of the current measured in the form of a voltage.
They can be used with a multimeter, a wattmeter, a recorder, etc.
They can be powered by a battery or at 5 Vdc via the optional micro‑USB connector.
PAC clamps include:
„ a range overshoot indicator,
