For photovoltaic power plants, clamp-on multimeters like the DCM1500S, BENNING CM 10-PV, and UT219PV are ideal, offering high-voltage DC measurement, True RMS, and PV-specific features.

Recommended Clamp Meters

1. DCM1500S Solar Clamp Meter (Megger)

  • Measures up to 2000 V DC and 1500 V AC, and 1500 A AC/DC.
  • Supports voltage, current, resistance, diode, capacitance, temperature, and frequency measurements.
  • Features backlit display, automatic torch in the jaw, and Bluetooth connectivity for remote monitoring via the Megger Link App.
  • Includes data logging, Min/Max hold, inrush current measurement, and high-frequency rejection filter, making it suitable for installation, maintenance, and monitoring of PV systems . 2. CM 10-PV (BENNING)
  • True RMS clamp meter designed for photovoltaic systems, HVAC, and industrial applications.
  • Safe voltage measurement up to 2000 V DC / 1500 V AC.
  • CAT III/IV safety ratings with protective caps for high-voltage PV environments.
  • Includes PV connectors and 4 mm measuring tips for direct contact with PV generators, ensuring safe and accurate DC voltage measurements . 3. UT219PV Clamp Meter (UNI-T / Schwick)
  • Measures up to 2500 V DC and 1500 V AC, and 1000 A AC/DC.
  • Features ultra-thin 35 mm jaws for tight spaces in inverters or combiner boxes.
  • Supports frequency, resistance, capacitance, temperature, inrush current, and DC power measurement.
  • True RMS, auto-range, AUTO-HOLD, internal memory, and Bluetooth connectivity for data export.
  • IP65 protection ensures dust and water resistance, ideal for outdoor PV installations .

Key Features to Consider for PV Applications

  • High DC voltage rating: PV arrays can exceed 1000 V DC, so meters must safely handle these voltages.
  • True RMS measurement: Ensures accurate readings for non-sinusoidal currents common in PV inverters.
  • Data logging and Bluetooth: Useful for monitoring trends and documenting system performance.
  • Low-pass filter and inrush current detection: Helps measure inverter outputs and transient currents accurately.
  • Durability and IP rating: Outdoor PV environments require meters resistant to dust, water, and rough handling. These clamp-on multimeters are specifically designed to meet the safety, accuracy, and functionality requirements of photovoltaic power plants, making them suitable for installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of solar systems.
