Chauvin Arnoux F203 True RMS Clamp Meter

With the ability to measure AC current (600A), AC voltage (1000V), DC current (900A), and DC voltage (1400V), the Chauvin Arnoux F203 True RMS Clamp Meter is a really useful tool for professionals in the electrical and HVAC sectors. Other measurements possible with the F203 include resistance, frequency, and temperature whilst continuity and diode testing can also be carried out with this clamp meter. Autoranging helps save time and AC/DC detection adds extra depth to measurements whilst True RMS measurement helps ensure accuracy for AC values. Another useful measurement feature is the True Inrush current measurement which helps assess current patterns during start-up phases for both single motors and multi-motor systems.

An additional function of the Chauvin Arnoux F203 is its ability to act as an adaptor. This increases the meter’s range of measurement capabilities because various probes can be connected to it with values shown on the backlit LCD screen. Min/max recording gives a clear idea of fluctuations in parameters under test and the meter also offers REL∆ reference quantity values as well as differential calculation for advanced performance analysis.

Despite this impressive functionality, using the instrument is actually surprisingly easy thanks to an ergonomic design and small but useful details like a grooved dial and ‘one button one function’ interface. The 34mm jaw can be worked into tight spaces and the instrument has been specifically designed to be used with one hand, even when using protective gloves. The simple, sturdy design also means that the Chauvin Arnoux F203 can withstand a 2m fall and is ingress protection rated as IP54. In terms of safety it is Cat IV rated to 600V.

The Chauvin Arnoux F203 is a small but sturdy clamp meter that is excellent for analysing both AC and DC installations. With a three-year warranty and a host of supplied accessories, the user can have confidence in his/her purchase and consistently obtain precise, reliable results for several different electrical parameters.
