Common questions on this part

Standard average-responding meters only read accurately on pure sine waves. Modern industrial plants use VFDs, LED drivers, and switching converters that distort current into non-sinusoidal waveforms. A True-RMS meter measures the true effective heating value of distorted currents, preventing errors of up to 40%.

Yes. Selecting the 'INRUSH' function arms the meter to capture the high-speed initial current surge drawn by electric motors during the first 100 milliseconds of starting.

Yes. Each BLX-DMM-5500 is supplied complete with heavy-duty CAT IV gold-plated silicone test leads, a zippered protective carrying pouch, and batteries.

Yes. Unlike basic AC-only clamp meters, the BLX-DMM-5500 uses Hall-effect sensors to measure DC current up to 600A directly through the clamp jaw, making it ideal for solar PV string testing.

Yes. True-RMS digital multimeters and clamp meters are available for immediate purchase at our Nairobi trade counter.
