Megger DCM1500S - Solar Clamp Meter
Product Overview
The DCM1500S is a rugged, installer-grade True‑RMS clamp meter built specifically for PV systems. With support for up to 2000 V DC (via PV leads) and 1500 A AC/DC, it’s ideal for commissioning, troubleshooting, and maintenance across solar arrays and electrical installations.
-
Support for solar systems: Measures up to 2000 V DC and 1500 A AC/DC with included PVHV1 and PVHV2 lead sets (MC4 compatible)
-
Advanced measurement tools: Includes Smart Hold, inrush current capture, high-frequency rejection filter, non-contact VoltSeek mode, and manual DC amp zeroing
-
Bluetooth connectivity: Pair with the free Megger Link app to log data remotely on a smart device and view live trends
-
Versatile multi-function readings: Measure voltage (including µA/mV), current, resistance, diode, capacitance, frequency, and temperature (with included thermocouple)
-
Large backlit display & built-in torch: 6,000-count white LED display and jaw-mounted light for low-light environments
-
Safety certified: Rated to CAT IV 600 V / CAT III 1000 V per IEC standards for PV and industrial environments
