    PCWork PCW03A True RMS Multimeter

    The PCW03A True RMS digital multimeter is an innovative tool for any electrician, technician, or ambitious hobbyist. It can measure AC/DC voltage, current, and resistance, as well as frequency, duty ratio, and temperature. Due to its smart measurement function, the PCW03A detects the inteded measurement (continuity, voltage, resistance) and chooses the correct measurement range/function for the user, making super easy to use and beginner-friendly. Another great feature of the device, especially for beginners, are the illuminated input sockets. Here the device indicates which input sockets to use for the chosen measurement function. This way it is almost impossible to connect the measurement leads to the wrong socket and it will prevent the device from damage. With its 9999 counts and bright colors, the HD display provides precise measurement read-outs. Additionally, the CAT III 1000V; CAT IV 600V rating ensures safety while in use for various applications. Its smartphone-like design is easy and intiutive to use, making it a joy for daily operations. The double insulation, ceramic fuse, and removable rubber casing provide durability and protection for device and the user. Features CAT III 1000V; CAT IV 600V 9999 counts & True RMS Auto Range & smart measurement function: device automatically recognizes intended measurement (continuity, voltage, resistance) and chooses correct measurement range/function LED illuminated input sockets – the device shows you which input socket to use according to the measurement function chosen. Perfect for beginners to avoid damage to the device. AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, resistance, capacitance, frequency, duty ratio, and temperature measurement NCV (non-contact voltage detection), live line, continuity, and diode test Double insulation & ceramic fuses Removable rubber casing with cushioning function for extra protection Large colour HD display with backlight Data hold with Min/Max function LED work light Innovative design and 5 button operating concept: like a smartphone Great packaging design and manual with pictures in various languages: EN, GER, ES, FR, PT, IT, GR Dimensions: 165 x 85 x 25 mm Weight: 255 g Included PCW03A Multimeter Batteries High-quality test leads K-type temp. probes Transport case

What is a multimeter? Why are multimeters necessary?

Multimeters are instruments used to measure multiple electrical properties. Just as you would use a ruler to measure distance, a stopwatch to measure time, or a scale to measure weight, you can use a multimeter to measure different things – all in one – like a multi-tool. This was the idea behind the first multimeter. British Post Office technician Donald Macadie was dissatisfied with the need to carry many separate instruments, so he invented an instrument that could measure amperes, volts, and ohms. The multifunctional meter was then given the name Avometer.

Multimeters mainly measure voltage (volts), current (amps) and resistance (ohms). Some also allow you to measure other properties, such as temperature and capacity. The multimeter is a standard diagnostic instrument for technicians in the electrical/electronics industry.

Analog and digital multimeters: what are the differences?

An analog multimeter consists of a meter with a moving coil and a pointer that indicates the reading on the scale. This multimeter has a scale with bars to indicate the change in reading over time. The analog multimeter can display abrupt variations in the electrical current well, because it has a changing display.

For comparison, a digital multimeter is a device that displays accurate measurement results on an LCD screen. A digital multimeter with auto-range automatically changes the scale display, so that the measuring circuits can use the maximum precision of the A/D converter. Digital multimeters are generally the best multimeters because they are easier to read and give more accurate results. Many experts will opt for a digital multimeter instead of its analog version.

  • The measurement results are recorded and stored in memory and synchronized via a PC.
  • Resistant to mechanical damage
  • Multifunctionality
  • The measurement accuracy is high
  • Measuring ranges can be selected manually or automatically

On the other hand, it is expensive compared to the analog multimeter and a fluctuating measurement is difficult to read.
