Kyoritsu 2062 Power Clamp Meter

A. Product Overview

The Kyoritsu KEW 2062 is a professional Power Clamp Meter designed for measuring electrical parameters without disconnecting the conductor.

It combines clamp current measurement with advanced power measurement functions, making it suitable for industrial electrical maintenance, energy monitoring and power analysis.

The KEW 2062 can measure:

• AC current up to 1000 A
• AC voltage up to 1000 V
• Active power
• Reactive power
• Apparent power
• Power factor
• Frequency
• Phase angle
• Phase rotation
• Harmonics up to the 30th order

It supports both single phase and three phase electrical systems.

The 55 mm tear drop shaped clamp jaw allows technicians to clamp around larger conductors easily.

Additional functions include MAX, MIN, AVG, PEAK, data hold and display backlight.

B. Working Principle

The Kyoritsu KEW 2062 works by detecting the magnetic field generated around an AC current carrying conductor.

When the clamp jaw is placed around a conductor, the meter senses the magnetic field and converts it into an electrical current reading without requiring the circuit to be disconnected.

Voltage is measured using the voltage test leads connected to the electrical circuit.

The instrument combines voltage and current measurements internally to calculate various power parameters such as active power, reactive power and apparent power.

It also calculates power factor, phase angle and frequency from the measured electrical waveform.

For harmonic measurement, the KEW 2062 analyses distortion in the electrical waveform and can display harmonic components up to the 30th order.

True RMS measurement helps provide accurate readings even when the electrical waveform is distorted or non sinusoidal.

C. Why It Is Used

The Kyoritsu KEW 2062 Power Clamp Meter is used when technicians need to analyse electrical power systems quickly and safely without interrupting the circuit.
