Meter

A friend of mine was wondering if I could post this for him.

I have a customer who wants to measure 1000A, DC. they want it portable clamp on with a 4-5 inch jaw. I can't find an instrument with that large a jaw, would you post this on PLCS.NET and see if anyone has run across this before. if it's not feasible to do this with a portable system what else is out there.

Thanks

Here is what you....

er, I mean your friend...

needs.

edit: OK, I see that one is an AC model. I know we have one of these around here that we use on a 120KVA DC power supply. It think it is hall effect and while I'm 90% sure it is a Fluke brand, it might not be.

Another source is www.ohiosemitronics.com, howeever these are mounted instruments, not portable instruments.

For a start, try these websites:

Just do a Google advanced search using "DC shunt" and 1000A. You'll get tons of information.

Will this not work?
