Analog clamp-meter measures AC to 600A, AC voltage to 600V, and resistance to 2 kilohms
Average-sensing meter provides accurate readings when measuring linear loads, where the current or voltage has a sinusoidal waveform
Clamp with 30mm (1.18 inches) jaw opening measures current without touching or interrupting the circuit
Data hold function keeps the most recent reading on the display after the meter is disconnected from the circuit to capture readings in tight spaces, and to aid documentation of readings
Meter is manual-ranging, so the user selects the operating range for the property being measured
The Kyoritsu 2805 analog clamp-meter is an average-sensing, manual-ranging multimeter for measuring current, voltage, and resistance in electrical testing applications. It has a clamp that measures AC (alternating current) to 600A (amperes). The clamp has two jaws that can close around an electrical conductor up to 30mm (1.18 inches) in diameter to measure current without touching or interrupting the circuit. A set of test leads is included for measuring AC voltage to 600V and resistance to 2kΩ (kilohms). The meter has a slide switch to select the property and a rotary switch to select the range to measure, and displays readings using a needle that moves on a calibrated scale. To capture readings in tight spaces and aid documentation of readings, the data hold function keeps the most recent reading on the display after disconnecting from the circuit. The unit operates on single 1.5V AA battery. This average-sensing, also called average responding or mean value, meter provides accurate readings when measuring linear loads, such as standard induction motors and incandescent lights, where the current or voltage has a sinusoidal waveform. The meter is manual-ranging, so the user selects the operating range for the property being measured. Its accuracy is + or – 3%. It comes with a carrying case.

Clamp-meters, also called clamp-on meters, have two jaws that fit around a conductor to measure electrical current without cutting through wires, or touching or interrupting the electrical circuit. Available in handheld or benchtop models, clamp-meters diagnose problems in electrical equipment, wiring, and power supplies. All clamp-meters test for current. Some come with test leads and inputs for measuring voltage, capacitance, and resistance. They display information either in analog or digital form. Factors that influence meter choice include the electrical properties to be measured, the anticipated range of results, and the desired level of protection against transient voltage. Safety ratings are based on International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards for low-voltage test equipment. IEC 61010 delineates four overvoltage installation categories. In general, a meter with a category IV rating will provide more protection against transient voltages than a meter with a lower category rating. Kyoritsu manufactures electrical testing and measurement instruments such as multimeters, clamp meters, and power quality analyzers. The company, founded in 1940, is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.
