Product Review: CP06 low-cost AC/DC clamp-on current probe (2011x21)

Data de estreia: Jul 18, 2011

I bought this bargain basement clamp-on current probe on eBay. It doesn't even seem to have a manufacturer (shamed out of existence?), but the model number is CP06. It's $70 shipped, and is probably worth it, especially if you plan to measure DC and 50/60Hz AC waveforms. It will not do high-frequency measurements. The DC accuracy seems good enough for many different applications where cutting into the test wire is not preferable. Note: Hold down the "zero" button for a couple seconds, then release.
