Accurately detect electricity theft
• The CM3286 is ideal for verifying electricity theft since it can measure both AC
power and current.
• The instrument’s electricity theft detection-and-report function can be used to
quickly and easily make measurements and generate reports (CM3286-01 only).

Detect by measuring
current
Electricity theft can be detected by measuring current
on the power supply side of the illegal connection.
Illegal
connection
Measure currents as low as
60 mA simply by clamping
the instrument to two lines
at once, ensuring you’ll detect any theft.

Quick and easy data recording
Hold measured values to send them to a smartphone
When you freeze the measured value, it is automatically
transferred to a smartphone or
tablet, eliminating the need to
jot down readings by hand. You
can also create a simple PDF
report right there in the field,
and save data in CSV format
for later editing in Excel.
