Honeytek HK221C 6,000 Counts Mini Compact TRMS Clamp Meter
Product Description:
The Honeytek HK221C is a versatile and sophisticated clamp meter that shares the high-resolution 5999-count display of the HK221B but shifts its focus to Voltage Frequency Control (VFC) mode and temperature measurement. This makes it the perfect tool for technicians working on Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), HVAC systems, and any environment where measuring temperature and filtering electrical noise is essential. It forgoes low current measurement for features tailored to industrial and electromechanical troubleshooting.
Highlights:
VFC Mode (Voltage Frequency Control): Filters out interference for accurate voltage measurements on inverter-driven motors (VFDs) – a critical feature for modern industrial maintenance.
Integrated Temperature Measurement: Measures temperature in both °C and °F with a K-type thermocouple, ideal for HVAC and mechanical diagnostics.
High-Resolution Display: 5999-count display for precise reading of all parameters.
True RMS Accuracy: Provides reliable measurements on distorted waveforms.
Live Wire Recognition & NCV: Enhances safety by detecting energized circuits.
Relative Mode: Allows for differential measurements, useful for comparing values.
