Di-LOG DL6414: Versatility for AC/DC and Solar PV Applications
The Di-LOG DL6414 builds on the foundation of the DL6413, offering more versatility by supporting both AC and DC current measurement. With the ability to measure up to 1000A AC/DC and 1000V DC, it is an ideal tool for professionals working in the rapidly growing solar photovoltaic (PV) industry. This feature is particularly significant for testing solar PV systems, where DC voltage measurement is essential.
Key features of the DL6414 include:
- AC/DC Measurement: Measures both AC and DC currents up to 1000A and voltages up to 1000V DC and 1000V AC, making it perfect for applications like electric vehicles and renewable energy systems.
- True RMS Accuracy: Ensures precise measurements even with complex waveforms, a necessity in modern electrical environments with non-linear loads.
- Inrush Current Mode: Ideal for capturing surge currents during equipment startup.
- Low Impedance (LoZ) Mode: Prevents false readings caused by ghost voltages, offering reliable testing results.
- Solar PV Systems: The DL6414’s capability to measure 1000V DC makes it particularly suited for installing and maintaining domestic and commercial solar PV systems. This feature, combined with its accuracy, makes it indispensable for technicians in the renewable energy sector.
Moreover, the DL6414 is engineered with safety and ease of use in mind, featuring an ergonomic design for comfortable handling and a backlit display to enhance usability in low-light conditions. Whether for HVAC systems, solar power setups, or general electrical applications, the DL6414 offers the flexibility that many professionals require.
Shared Features and Safety
Both the DL6413 and DL6414 are built to the highest standards of safety and durability. Each device is CAT IV 600V and CAT III 1000V rated, meaning they are safe for use in both high and low-voltage environments. Additionally, the DL6414 comes with inrush current detection, which helps capture initial surge currents when motors and other inductive loads are switched on, providing an extra layer of utility for industrial and commercial users.
Both models offer:
- Tier-shaped 35mm clamp jaw for restricted access environments
