1) the scale is limited to 240 kW in one-phase (600 V x
(
400 A). Above this value, the display indicates +OL or
-OL depending on the sign of the power.
(2) if the power value is < 5 W or if the voltage or current
values are respectively < 0.15 V or < 0.15 A, 0 is
displayed.
(3) The measurement accuracy is affected by an instability
linked to current measurement of approximately 0.1 A.
Example: for a power measurement performed at 10 A, the
instability of the measurement will be 0.1 A/10 A, or 1%.
MIN/ MAX Mode:
- Accuracy: same as previous table +0.3% L
- Capture time: 100 ms typ. (every 400 ms)
3.9 Power factor calculation (PF)
With the clamp configured in power measurement (switch on
position W) and correctly connected (see § 3.8), perform a
short press on the yellow key: the power factor is displayed.
The power factor is, by definition, an unsigned quantity, however,
a sign is displayed showing whether the charge is inductive
("+" sign) or capacitive ("-" sign). This sign is significant only
in the case of slightly distorted signals (i.e. 3 switches to zero
over 1 period).

outside its power range, the display of the power factor
indicates an indeterminate value"- - - -".

3.10 Frequency Measurement (Hz)
This function is active for measurements V, A, W in AC.
For the power function, the frequency measurement is
performed on the voltage signal.
