Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What electrical parameters can the ANENG ST170 Clamp Meter measure?
A: The ANENG ST170 Clamp Meter measures AC and DC voltage (up to 600V), AC current (up to 500A), resistance (up to 20MΩ), and capacitance (up to 200µF). It also features a diode detection function, making it one of the most comprehensive multi-parameter clamp meters available for electricians and technicians.
Q: Does the ANENG ST170 require direct contact with wires to take measurements?
A: No — the clamp jaw design allows you to measure AC current without direct contact with live wires. Simply clamp around the conductor. For voltage, resistance, and capacitance, the included 73cm test leads are used. This non-contact current measurement approach adds an important safety advantage during live electrical work.
Q: What batteries does the ANENG ST170 Clamp Meter use, and are they included?
A: The meter is powered by 2× AAA batteries, which are not included in the package. AAA batteries are widely available and easy to replace. The auto power-off feature (activates after 15 minutes of inactivity) helps extend battery life significantly.
Q: Is the ANENG ST170 suitable for professional electricians as well as home DIY use?
A: Absolutely. The ST170's wide measurement ranges, 1999-count HD display, durable ABS body, and non-contact current clamp make it a capable tool for licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and serious home DIYers alike. Its compact, lightweight design (131g) means it's easy to carry on the job or store in a home toolbox.
