Frequently Asked Questions
What is True RMS measurement and why does it matter?
True RMS (Root Mean Square) measurement provides accurate readings regardless of waveform distortion. This is critical when working with modern electronic loads like computers, LED lighting, and variable speed drives that draw non-sinusoidal current. Without True RMS capability, measurements on these devices can be significantly inaccurate, leading to improper circuit sizing and potential safety issues.
How does the IP54 rating benefit field technicians?
The IP54 rating indicates the meter is protected against dust ingress (limited ingress permitted) and water splashes from any direction. For electrical professionals, this means reliable operation in construction environments, outdoor installations in light rain, and industrial settings where exposure to dust and moisture is common. This protection extends the meter's lifespan and ensures measurement reliability in challenging conditions.
What is the advantage of LoZ voltage measurement?
Low impedance (LoZ) voltage measurement eliminates ghost or phantom voltage readings caused by capacitive coupling between adjacent conductors. By providing a low impedance path, the meter can distinguish between actual voltage and induced voltage – particularly valuable when troubleshooting complex installations where ghost voltages commonly cause confusion.
Can the UNI-T UT219E measure both AC and DC current?
The UNI-T UT219E can measure AC current up to 600A, but doesn't support DC current measurement. For applications requiring DC current measurement, please consider our UNI-T UT219M or UT219DS models, which offer comprehensive DC current capabilities.
What is the warranty period for the UNI-T UT219E?
UNI-T provides a 12-month warranty on the UT219E, covering manufacturing defects and component failures under normal use conditions.
