Quickly Check Current, Voltage, Power, and Power Factor
Detect Electricity Theft and Meter Tampering
Hioki clamp meters are best in class handheld current and voltage meters for safely and accurately measuring power lines. The CM3286-50 clamp on power meter can measure voltage, current, power, power factor, phase angle, reactive power or frequency, as well as detect phase sequence on live lines at any desired point of a single-phase circuit or three-phase circuit.
CAT IV 600 V, CAT III 1000 V
Wirelessly connect Hioki-compliant instruments with a simple connection.
Transfer measurements to your smartphone or tablet and quickly create reports with field photos and drawings.
GENNECT Cross, a free app designed specifically for use with Hioki measuring instruments, lets you check and manage measurement results and create reports.
The software provides a range of functionality that helps manage data in the field, including photographing measurement sites, placing measurement results on photographs, and saving hand written memos.
Boost work efficiency in the field by letting you directly transfer measurement data to (i.e., enter measured values directly into) templates created as Excel®.
When combined with GENNECT Cross (*2), you can perform simple harmonic analysis. Applications include problem analysis of power supply systems.
Delivering a broad range of measurements at sites from manufacturing plants to households
Accurately measure power from 5 W at a current as low as 60 mA to 360 kW at a maximum of 600 A (single-phase power measurement)
<Measurement line>
Measure power in single-phase to balanced three-phase circuits (with estimated values)
(1-phase/ 2-wire, 1-phase/ 3-wire, balanced 3-phase/ 3-wire, and balanced 3-phase/ 4-wire)
* The instrument generates estimated power values when measuring 3-phase circuits
Related parameters and connection locations shown on the display at once (Main parameter×1, Sub-parameter×3)
Provides a simple on-screen guide indicating how to connect it to a 3-phase circuit.
The clamp meters beep when the measured value stabilizes and then automatically hold the display value.
This is useful when using the instrument in locations where it is difficult to see the display or press the hold button.
When the clamp power meter detects excessively over current or voltage input during a continuity check, it alerts you with a red backlight and beeping tone in order to help prevent accidents.
CM3286-50 can measure unbalanced power in a 3-phase/ 3-wire circuit by measuring the single-phase power twice and then automatically adding the results.
(The instrument can also measure 3-phase/4-wire circuits in three separate measurements.)
Since it can display maximum (MAX), minimum (MIN), and average (AVG) values, the CM3286-50 is useful when you need to ascertain the magnitude of fluctuations.
And since it can also measure crest (PEAK) values, you can use it to check fluctuations at the crest value level.
CM3286-50 can be used with the optional Clamp On Adapter 9290-10 to measure busbars of up to 55 mm in diameter or 80 × 20 mm.
Measure high currents of up to 1000 A AC (or 1500 A for up to 5 min.).
The CM3286-50 is ideal for verifying electricity theft since it can measure both AC power and current.
- Meter tampering: Detect by comparing electric meter readings and measurements
Proper operation of electric meters can be confirmed by comparing meter readings and actual values.
- Direct theft: Detect by measuring current
Electricity theft can be detected by measuring current on the power supply side of the illegal connection.
The instrument's electricity theft detection-and-report function can be used to quickly and easily make measurements and generate graphical reports with GPS geo tags.
Getting telltale evidence of electricity theft involves more than just saving a record of measured values. Time and date, GPS data, measurement photographs, and measured values are captured as a series of photographs are taken and grouped together into a report.
