The HD Electric 8280 is a digital high-voltage ammeter used for taking True RMS AC current measurements up to 2000A on power distribution systems. It has an open-core design that allows the user to quickly hook it over a conductor from the end of a hotstick and obtain a current reading in amperes.
- True RMS readings: This means that the meter will accurately measure the current, even if it is distorted.
- Peak hold mode: This mode captures the highest current reading that the meter sees, which can be helpful for troubleshooting electrical problems.
- Auto-ranging:Â The meter will automatically adjust its range to match the current being measured.
- Large LCD display: The display is easy to read, even in bright sunlight.
- Lightweight and portable:Â The meter is easy to carry and use.
The HD Electric 8280 is a versatile tool that can be used for a variety of applications, including:
- Taking spot-load studies at transformers or at any mid-span location
- Performing phase balance studies on primary or secondary lines
- Troubleshooting electrical problems
- Verifying the operation of circuit breakers and other protective devices
If you are looking for a high-quality, accurate, and easy-to-use digital high-voltage ammeter, the HD Electric 8280 is a great option.
