UT-CS06A 400A AC Current Clamp Sensor UNI-T – Lightweight 50-400Hz

Description

Product Overview

The UT‑CS06A 400A AC current clamp sensor by UNI‑T is engineered for high‑precision current measurement in demanding industrial environments. Constructed from durable, heat‑resistant materials, the clamp features a robust jaw that securely grips conductors up to 28 mm in diameter, ensuring reliable contact without damaging the cable. Its lightweight aluminum housing, weighing just 11.99 oz, enables effortless one‑handed operation, reducing user fatigue during prolonged testing sessions. The sensor delivers a frequency response ranging from 50 Hz to approximately 400 Hz, covering the majority of power‑line frequencies and harmonics encountered in field work. With a fast readout capability of 1 mV/A, the device translates minute voltage changes into accurate current readings, making it an indispensable tool for troubleshooting, preventive maintenance, and performance verification of electrical systems. The UT‑CS06A is fully compatible with UNI‑T’s UT196, UT139C, and UT117C multimeters, allowing seamless integration into existing test setups.

Usage

Designed for electricians, HVAC technicians, industrial maintenance crews, and laboratory engineers, the UT‑CS06A excels in a variety of real‑world scenarios. Whether you are measuring the load on a motor starter, verifying the current draw of a variable‑frequency drive, or checking the performance of a solar inverter, the clamp’s quick‑snap jaw provides instant access to live current without interrupting the circuit. Its compact form factor fits comfortably into tight conduit spaces, and the low‑profile design allows it to be used on overhead lines and in cramped control panels. The sensor’s battery‑operated design (2 AAA batteries included) ensures portability on job sites where mains power is unavailable. Additionally, the clamp’s clear LCD readout on the paired multimeter offers intuitive visual feedback, enabling rapid decision‑making in time‑critical troubleshooting situations.
