Best UNI-T clamp meter for electricians
A clamp meter is the second instrument every electrician buys. UNI-T sells more than twenty models; this guide sorts them by the three questions that actually decide the purchase.
1. AC only, or AC/DC?
Mains distribution, motors and lighting are AC — an AC clamp is enough and costs less. If you touch solar strings, batteries, UPS/inverter DC links, EV chargers or vehicle wiring you need an AC/DC (Hall-effect) clamp. AC-only models: UT200A+, UT201+, UT202A+, UT202T, UT205B, UT206C, UT220. AC/DC models: UT203+, UT204+, UT210E, UT210D, UT207B, UT208B, UT221, UT222.
2. How thick is the cable?
Jaw opening decides what you can clamp: 16–17 mm (UT210E/D, UT211B) fits panel wiring and control cables; 28–33 mm (UT200–UT204, UT2117R) fits up to about 240 mm² cable; 40–55 mm (UT203+, UT205B, UT207B, UT208B) fits busbars and 400–630 mm² cables; the UT220/UT221 jaws are made for large conductors and read up to 2000 A.
