A 1-phase power meter, also called a single-phase power meter, can measure a variety of electrical parameters, from current and voltage to resistance, continuity and beyond. A 1-phase power meter is used by electrical contractors to assess everything from live wires and circuit breakers to electrical panels and power transformers. In addition to being referred to as a single-phase power meter, a 1-phase power meter goes by many different names, including but not limited to clamp meter, current clamp, digital multimeter, electrical tester, oscilloscope, circuit tester, ground checker, voltage detector, milliohm meter, phase rotation meter and power analyzer.
Whether you're in need of a single-phase power meter for non-contact voltage detection or for open-jaw current testing, PCE Instruments (PCE) offers a wide selection of single-phase power meter products for nearly any practical electrical testing application. Some of PCE's more advanced single-phase power meter products feature data-logging functionality with the capability to measure and store readings to memory. These data-recording single-phase power meters often have USB ports or RS-232 interfaces for transferring the measurement data to a computer for processing.
