High-Precision Industrial Diagnostics: MESTEK CM88A / CM88B / CM88C 600A True-RMS Digital Clamp Meter Series in Malaysia

For industrial maintenance technicians, plant electricians, commercial HVAC specialists, and facility control engineers across Malaysia, accurate current clamp instruments are indispensable for day-to-day electrical auditing and emergency troubleshooting. MTM Precision is proud to present the MESTEK CM88A, CM88B, and CM88C 600A TRUE-RMS Digital Clamp Meter Series—a family of heavy-duty, high-precision instruments built to perform reliably in demanding commercial and industrial environments.

Compliant with EN61010-2-032 safety standards and rated to CAT III 600V, the MESTEK CM88 series combines a large 42mm jaw opening, 6000 Counts high-resolution LCD display, True-RMS signal analysis, VFD variable frequency drive filtering, motor Inrush current measurement, non-contact AC voltage (NCV) detection, and thermocouple temperature testing in a rugged 450g housing.

🌟 Key Features & Advanced Capabilities

Large 42mm Jaw Capacity: The generous 42mm clamp jaw opening easily accommodates large conductors, thick distribution feeders, and parallel wire runs without crowding.
True-RMS Signal Processing & 6000 Counts Display: Ensures exact AC voltage and current readings even when testing distorted, non-linear waveforms common in variable frequency drives, switching power supplies, and automated industrial machinery.
VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) Filtering Mode: Filters out high-frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM) noise and electrical harmonics, ensuring clean, true readings when troubleshooting inverter-driven motors, HVAC blowers, and pumps.
Inrush Current Measurement for Motor Startup (CM88C): Accurately captures high transient surge currents when electric motors, air conditioning compressors, or heavy inductive loads power on, aiding in troubleshooting trip issues.
Versatile 600A AC/DC Measurement Options: Choose between cost-effective AC current testing (CM88A / CM88B) or complete AC/DC current testing up to 600A (CM88C) for DC battery banks, solar arrays, and industrial DC power supplies.
K-Type Thermocouple Temperature Testing (CM88B & CM88C): Integrated temperature input channel supporting -20°C to 1000°C (-4°F to 1832°F) for rapid thermal audits of breaker lugs, busbar connections, and HVAC coils.
Non-Contact AC Voltage Detection (NCV): Non-contact sensor safely verifies live AC voltage presence through wire insulation and conduit enclosures without metallic probe contact.
Integrated LED Flashlight & Backlit LCD Display: Dual lighting system provides high visibility inside dark breaker panels, ceiling spaces, and subterranean cable ducts.
