TEST AND MEASUREMENT DEVICE WITH A PISTOL-GRIP HANDLE

摘要

A clamp meter configured to receive a removable and rechargeable battery pack. The clamp meter includes a main body having a first axis, a handle, a clamp, a trigger, and a display. The handle has a second axis and includes a first recess configured to receive the battery pack. The first recess includes at least first and second electrical terminals which are exposed when the battery pack is not inserted into the first recess. The second axis forms an oblique angle with the first axis, and the battery pack is inserted into the first recess along the second axis. The clamp is coupled to the main body, aligned with the first axis, and operable to measure an electrical characteristic of a conductor based on an induced current. The trigger is operable to selectively open and close the clamp, and the display configured to display an indication of the electrical characteristic.

1. A clamp meter configured to receive a removable and rechargeable battery pack, the clamp meter comprising:
a main body having a first axis; a handle having a second axis and including a first recess configured to receive at least a portion of the battery pack, the first recess including first and second electrical terminals which are exposed when the at least a portion of the battery pack is not inserted in the first recess; wherein the second axis forms an oblique angle with the first axis; a clamp coupled to and supported by the main body, the clamp operable to measure an electrical characteristic of a conductor based on an induced current, the clamp including a first jaw and a second jaw; a trigger operable to selectively open and close the clamp, the trigger positioned below the main body in a second recess of the handle, a ram, wherein the trigger is operable to move the ram toward the first jaw and the second jaw to open the clamp, the ram causing the first jaw to rotate about a first pivot axis and the second jaw to rotate about a second pivot axis to open the clamp; and a display configured to display an indication of an electrical characteristic of a conductor.
