Professional Earth Leakage Testing Made Simple
The Megger DCM305E measures differential leakage current by clamping around live and neutral conductors simultaneously. This method helps eliminate the effects of parallel earth paths, allowing the source of leakage to be identified more accurately.
Unlike a standard clamp meter, this specialist Megger Earth Leakage Clamp Meter is designed specifically for low-current leakage diagnostics. It allows electricians to:
- Trace nuisance RCD trips
- Detect insulation breakdown
- Identify faulty appliances
- Investigate moisture-related leakage
- Monitor intermittent leakage spikes
The compact design and 40 mm jaw also make the instrument ideal for use inside crowded distribution boards and control panels.
