New clamp‑on meters from Danisense
Danisense launched high‑precision DC/AC current clamp‑ons aimed at more accurate residential and commercial measurements, which could tighten diagnostics on EVSE, solar and load studies. Manufacturers are pitching these tools as ways to reduce guesswork on load calculations and troubleshooting. (x.com)
Danisense named the new clamp-on MK500ID and unveiled it at APEC 2026 in San Antonio on March 22, 2026. (danisense.com) The MK500ID is specified to deliver 0.1% current-measurement accuracy, an outstanding linearity error of 20 ppm, an industry‑leading phase shift of 0.05° below 100 Hz, and a high‑frequency bandwidth up to 1 MHz. (danisense.com) Physical and connectivity details include a Ø39 mm aperture, a 4‑meter cable terminated to a D‑sub‑9 connector, optional voltage‑output accessories, and an operating temperature range from −40 °C to +85 °C. (danisense.com) Danisense positions the MK500ID for EV battery and inverter testing, photovoltaic and wind power measurement, transmission and distribution applications, and temporary retrofit/maintenance work. (danisense.com) The company says the MK500ID is now available to order with first shipments scheduled for the end of June 2026, and it is being shown on site at APEC alongside Danisense’s U.S. partner GMW Associates (Booth 2155). (danisense.com) The clamp-on builds on Danisense’s closed‑loop fluxgate technology and its existing DN/DQ series of high‑precision current transducers that cover larger fixed apertures up to the kA class.
