MCA-206 clamp meter questions
What current range does the MCA-206 measure?
The MCA-206 measures AC and DC current up to 600 A through the clamp jaws (60 A / 600 A ranges), with True RMS for non-linear loads.
When should I choose the MCA-206 instead of the MCA-212?
Choose the MCA-206 for everyday 600 A AC/DC True RMS work with inrush, NCV, and a lighter form factor; pick the MCA-212 when you need higher current capacity (up to 1200 A) and CAT IV 600 V-class industrial duty.
Is the MCA-206 suitable for HVAC motor inrush checks?
Yes — inrush and peak-hold modes help capture motor-start spikes, and True RMS supports VFD and other non-sinusoidal loads when probes and PPE are used correctly.
