I. Overview
UT219P is a digital power clamp with fundamental frequency up to 1 kHz. This clamp meter can be used to measure AC voltage, AC current, active power, apparent power, reactive power, power factor, phase angle, power quality, frequency, phase sequence, total harmonic distortion, harmonic component, etc. It has different measurement modes including single phase, threephase three- wire, and three-phase four-wire. Designed with Bluetooth function, measurement data can be monitored and recorded via mobile phone and tablet, and professional report can be generated. Featuring easy operation, stable performance, accurate measurement and more, UT219P can be applied in multiple fields such as: 1) Measure power quality of UPS to evaluate if operation is normal. 2) Measure power factor of power system to analyze capacitive or inductive load. 3) Measure harmonic of power grid of power system, to find out harmonic issue that may
damage the load of nonlinear equipment of power grid. 4) Troubleshoot 400Hz AC power supply system of aviation and 25Hz AC power supply system
of railway. 5) Test and maintain high-power motor, centrifugal fan, centrifugal water pump, wind power
generation, solar power generation. 6) Test new energy vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles, evaluate motor efficiency, invertor
efficiency and energy consumption of driving.

  1. Set the rotary switch to “A~/V~”, press SELECT to select AC current measurement. Press the trigger to clamp the measured conductor and then release the trigger slowly until the clamp jaws closes completely. Make sure that the measured conductor centers at the clamp jaws, error will be produced if the measured conductor does not centers at the clamp jaws. The clamp can only measure a current conductor at a time, if it measures two or more current conductors at the same time, the reading will be incorrect.
  2. Read from the LCD the True RMS, peak and frequency of AC current, as shown below:

Note: Do not release the trigger abruptly when pressing and holding it. Hall sensor is sensitive to magnet, heat and mechanic stress, impact can cause reading variation in a short time. To ensure measurement accuracy, please place the measured conductor at the center of the clamp jaws. Error of ±1.0% of reading will be produced if the measured conductor is not placed at the center of the clamp jaws.

Note:
Phase angle is in reference to voltage. Do not input voltage over 1000V. It is possible to measure higher voltage, but it may damage the clamp. Avoid electric shock when working with high voltage. Disconnect test leads with the measured circuit after all measurement operations are completed. The high voltage warning symbol ” ” will appear on the LCD if the measured voltage is over 30V AC; the red backlight flashes if the measured voltage is over 1000VAC. Do not release the trigger abruptly when pressing and holding it. Hall sensor is sensitive to magnet, heat and mechanic stress, impact can cause reading variation in a short time. To ensure measurement accuracy, please place the measured conductor at the center of the clamp jaws. Error of ±1.0% of reading will be produced if the measured conductor is not placed at the center of the clamp jaws. Incorrect wire connection will cause negative active power and cause the red backlight to flash, please check if the connections of voltage input terminal and clamp jaws are correct.
