Clamp meter Unit UT213A — digital clamp multimeter for AC/DC current measurement

The Unit UT213A clamp meter is a compact digital clamp multimeter designed for measuring AC and DC current without direct contact. It combines a jaw-type current sensor with standard multimeter functions to provide a practical tool for electricians and technicians. The instrument is intended for on-site diagnostics, troubleshooting and routine maintenance where quick, safe current readings are required.

Advantages

The clamp meter offers non-contact AC/DC current measurement through its jaws, reducing the need to disconnect conductors. Its compact form factor and single-handed operation make it suitable for confined spaces. Built-in multimeter functions allow basic voltage and resistance checks alongside current measurement, enabling a versatile inspection instrument for common electrical tasks. The design emphasizes straightforward operation and portability for field use.

Suitable for

• Measuring AC and DC current in cables and conductors without breaking circuits
• Electrical diagnostics and fault finding in residential and commercial installations
• Routine maintenance and on-site inspection of motors, panels and distribution circuits
• Quick verification of current draw for appliances and equipment

Key specifications

• Clamp-type current measurement for AC and DC
• Digital display for numeric readings
• Compact, handheld design suitable for one-handed operation
• Basic multimeter capabilities including voltage and resistance measurement
• Jaw opening sized for single conductor measurements in typical installations

How to use

Place the clamp jaws around a single conductor to measure current; ensure the jaws close fully to obtain an accurate reading. Select the appropriate measurement function and range on the meter before taking measurements. For voltage or resistance checks, use the meter’s test leads according to standard multimeter safety procedures. Observe polarity and measurement limits displayed on the device, and avoid measuring beyond the specified ranges.

Usage recommendations

Always verify that the clamp meter and test leads are in good condition before use. When measuring current, clamp only one conductor at a time and keep hands clear of live terminals. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow applicable safety standards for electrical work.
