High performance current probe. The 2000A range is ideal for use with modern diesel and high capacity petrol engines where starter currents can exceed 600A.
The new 2000A/200A heavy duty current clamp allows you to measure up to 2000A without cutting, disconnecting or stripping the wire. It is ideal for measuring the high currents drawn by the starter motor of commercial vehicles and large engine passenger cars. It is also excellently suitable for current monitoring of electric vehicles.
This new clamp will is offered as a separate accessory to purchasers of starter and standard kits, and to anyone wishing to add the capability to their existing system.
This new clamp can replace both the existing PP266 (600A), and PP253 (2000A) clamps with improved sensitivity, lower noise and faster response. The TA167 features a 200A mode for better performance at lower currents and has an improved jaw size. It also features an auto power-down facility to save battery life when not in use (this feature can be disabled for longer lasting battery drain / shutdown current testing).
Using advanced Hall Effect sensors for improved sensitivity and high external field rejection, the TA167 delivers a breakthrough in range and accuracy to meet the challenges of modern vehicles and particularly diesel engines.
These current clamps have been designed and optimized for use with PicoScope oscilloscopes and feature additional screening to reduce noise pickup.
