Clamp Meters
Digital Clamp Meters measure current using a compatible clamp sensor around an individual conductor.

Clamp meters for maintenance and industrial procurement
Tirupati Power Enterprises supplies clamp-meter requirements for maintenance teams, electrical contractors and industrial purchasing. For a clamp meter price, specify whether current measurement must be AC-only or AC/DC, the working range, conductor dimensions and required measurement category. Send the exact model for repeat purchases; similar front-panel functions can conceal different current capabilities.
Use this page for a current-measurement instrument, with any required leads, probes, case and documentation identified in the order. A standard load-current clamp, a leakage-current clamp and a flexible current probe are different selections. For deliveries across West Bengal, Odisha, Assam and India, include quantities by model and the plant delivery PIN code.
Information to include in your RFQ
Selection requirements for this product type |
|---|
AC-only or AC/DC current and range |
Jaw opening and conductor access |
Measurement category, voltage and inrush function |
Accuracy, leads and calibration |
Replacement and quotation checks
For a replacement, send the existing clamp meters reference and photographs of its markings, connections and mounting. Include the equipment drawing or datasheet where available. Identify which functions must remain unchanged and whether an alternative make is acceptable.

Clamp meter comparison checklist
Start with the task and measurement location, then compare the instrument and accessories. The maximum current number is only one part of a useful selection.
Buying detail | Include in your RFQ | Confirmation to request |
|---|---|---|
Current function | AC or AC/DC; expected minimum/maximum current | Check the required function and usable range on the proposed model |
Measurement method | True RMS requirement, frequency range and special load conditions | Confirm accuracy limits and bandwidth for the intended measurements |
Jaw and access | Conductor/busbar dimensions and available access space | Verify jaw opening and physical access, not just external meter size |
Measurement category | Required CAT category and voltage for the work location | Check the complete instrument/accessory combination |
Additional functions | Voltage, resistance, inrush, frequency, logging or other required function | List mandatory functions rather than assuming every clamp includes them |
Purchase scope | Leads, probes, case, software, calibration and warranty requirement | Identify included items and any separately quoted options |
Compare quotations for the same supply scope
Clamp meter prices vary with AC/DC capability, range, accuracy, True RMS performance, jaw design and logging functions. Compare the complete model and kit, not a generic clamp-meter description. State whether you need a calibration certificate, its scope and any accreditation requirement; these should be confirmed separately rather than inferred from the instrument brand. Confirm warranty terms, GST, freight and availability in the quotation.
Prepare your requirement for a quotation
For repeat procurement, send the existing model and list the features your technicians use. Specify whether the same leads, flexible probe or software must be retained.
For a new application, describe the circuit, current range, conductor size and measurement location. If the task involves leakage or drive-output measurements, identify it explicitly so the offered instrument can be checked for that use.
- Make/model or AC/DC function, current range and required accuracy.
- Jaw opening, access constraints, frequency/True RMS requirements.
- CAT category and voltage; mandatory additional functions.
- Accessories, calibration/documentation scope, quantity and delivery details.
Checks before you approve the order
Compare actual model functions
Fluke’s clamp comparison distinguishes AC/DC capability, measurement ranges and jaw dimensions. Features on one reference do not establish the capability of every clamp meter.
Separate range from suitability
A high current range does not establish accuracy at small currents or suitability for leakage measurement. Put the actual task in the RFQ.
Define the supplied kit
Specify the required leads, probes and documents together. The instrument and its accessories need to suit the intended measurement environment.

Questions about Clamp Meters
What should I check before selecting clamp meters?
Clamping around both live and return conductors generally cancels load-current readings. Leakage-current measurement requires a suitable instrument and method.
What information is needed to quote clamp meters?
Provide aC-only or AC/DC current and range; jaw opening and conductor access; measurement category, voltage and inrush function; accuracy, leads and calibration. Include the quantity, requested make or existing reference and delivery PIN code.
What information is needed for a clamp meter price?
Provide the model or required AC/DC current function, ranges, accuracy, jaw opening, CAT rating and additional functions. Add accessories, calibration needs and quantity.
Can every clamp meter measure DC current?
No. Check the current function on the exact model; AC-only and AC/DC instruments are different selections.
Is True RMS enough to compare two clamp meters?
Also compare the relevant accuracy, frequency response, range and waveform limitations, plus category rating and jaw access. True RMS alone is not a complete specification.
Can a standard clamp measure earth leakage?
Leakage measurement needs an instrument and method suitable for the expected residual current. Do not assume a general load-current clamp has the necessary sensitivity or performance.
Is a calibration certificate included automatically?
State the required certificate, measurements and accreditation scope in the enquiry. The quotation should confirm what is included and any additional cost or lead time.
