Hello,
I would like some kind of information about the current clamp bandwidth.
I have a solar charger that switches current to batteries.
I would like to get the RMS value of that current and I am wondering if the current clamps can do that.
So if a datasheet exists, it would be nice to get it!
Thank you,
Manu
Look at the comment of GEBHARDM is this topic :

Thank you for these useful datas.
I'm afraid I cannot rely on these clamps to mesure high frequency RMS values. I'm gonna give a try to hall effects current sensors.
Why not making it by using Ohm's law, thus putting a 0.1 Ohm resistor in series with the battery and measure voltage as well as the voltage drop over the resistor? See e.g. http://lygte-info.dk/info/How%20do%20I%20test%20a%20charger%20UK.html
I may have to consider it, but a shunt resistor is not always an option as I'd like to monitor existing electric installations. A clamp is very handy and quick to install and remove on existing cables without modifying the wiring.
That is actually why the FLM is a brilliant appliance :-) (if you use it within given parameters and possibilities)
