  • Measures AC/DC current up to 80 Amps
  • Non-contact voltage tester detects live wires safely
  • Backlit 4-digit LCD readable in dark cabinets
  • DCA zero function ensures accurate DC readings
  • Integrated torch illuminates tight measuring points

Non-contact current measurement

The PCE-DC3 is a digital clamp meter designed for indirect AC and DC current readings up to 80 amps without breaking the circuit. A built-in non-contact voltage detector helps locate live conductors and cable breaks. An integrated LED illuminates the measurement point in dark enclosures. The four-digit backlit LCD provides clear readings in low-light conditions.

Electricians and technicians needing quick clamp

Suits professionals who require a compact tool for spot-checking current in tight switch cabinets or cable ducts where probe access is limited. The automatic range selection and DCA zero function speed up repetitive measurements. Not intended for users who need to measure currents above 80 amps or who require true-RMS accuracy for distorted waveforms. Buyers needing data logging or Bluetooth connectivity should consider other instruments.

80 amp AC/DC measurement range

The clamp jaws accept conductors carrying up to 80 amps of alternating or direct current, which defines the upper limit of the tool’s core function. Automatic range selection adjusts the scale without manual intervention. The save button freezes the displayed value for recording. This single specification determines whether the meter matches the circuits you test.

Questions about this item

What type of circuit must be present to use the 80 Amp AC/DC measurement function?

The clamp measures alternating or direct current up to 80 Amps on a live conductor without breaking the circuit.

Can the non-contact voltage tester identify live wires in older cable reels or extension leads?

Yes, the integrated non-contact voltage tester detects dangerous voltage potentials and helps locate cable breaks in reels, extension cables and appliance leads.

How do I confirm the display is showing a stable reading after clamping a conductor?

The 4-digit backlit LCD shows the measured value; use the save function to hold the reading and verify it remains constant.
