  1. Updated Chauvin Arnoux F-Series Clamp Meters Combine New Solar Measurement with Innovative Inrush Testing

    On the right of the banner, a person wearing protective gloves and a hardhat with visor is using a Chauvin Arnoux F-Series Clamp Meter to test an industrial installation. On the left of the banner, white text on a dark blue background reads "Chauvin Arnoux Uncovering The Truth About Inrush Currents". We are excited to announce Chauvin Arnoux has updated its range of F-Series Clamp Meters, making them suitable for testing photovoltaic/solar systems! These new models, the F402, F404, F406, F604, and F606, supersede Chauvin Arnoux’s F401, F403, F405, F603, and F605 Clamp Meters. To ensure suitability for testing photovoltaic/solar circuits, Chauvin Arnoux’s updated F-series Clamp Meters offer an extended voltage range: up to 1200V AC and 1700V DC. However, one thing that has not changed is the clamp meters’ ability to measure true inrush current regardless of whether a load is connected to a live or dead installation. In their application note, Chauvin Arnoux outlines why their innovative InRush® function is so important. Continue reading →
