FLIR CM78-PV

CAT III 1500 V Solar Clamp Meter

The FLIR CM78-PV is a versatile clamp meter built for both commercial and industrial electrical inspections, with specialized support for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. It measures up to 1,500 V DC using test leads and up to 1,000 A AC/DC through the clamp jaw, making it ideal for DC power diagnostics. Advanced features include Inrush AC current, VFD mode, True RMS, and Low Impedance (LoZ) mode—ensuring accurate performance in complex electrical environments.

A built-in non-contact infrared thermometer helps diagnose issues in panels, conduits, and motors, while datalogging functionality captures intermittent faults and supports detailed troubleshooting. With integrated Bluetooth® and FLIR METERLiNK® technology, users can wirelessly connect to the METERLiNK® app for easy data capture, reporting, and sharing—streamlining fieldwork and documentation.
