SensorLink - AMPSTIK®+ 5000A 500kV True RMS Ammeter With 2.5" Standard Jaw 8-020 XT Plus

SensorLink AMPSTIK®+ 8-020XT Plus — 5000A, 500kV True RMS Clamp Ammeter

The SensorLink AMPSTIK+ is a professional-grade clamp ammeter engineered for utility, field, and industrial electrical measurement on overhead and underground systems. Measuring AC current from 0.5A to 5000A in voltage environments up to 500kV with ±1% accuracy, it delivers reliable, precise readings where it matters most — at the end of a hot stick.

Key Features

• 0.5A to 5000A AC current measurement with ±1% accuracy
• Rated for voltage environments up to 500kV for overhead and underground applications
• Open CT design electronically rejects stray magnetic fields — measure individual conductors in close proximity without interference errors
• 2.5" standard jaw opening slips easily onto conductors with no position sensitivity required
• Sample-and-hold for up to 4 readings — capture measurements at height, review at eye level, eliminating repeated hot stick raises
• 2–4 second measurement capture per conductor for efficient multi-conductor workflows
• Backlit LCD auto-activates in low-light conditions for readable displays in underground vaults and shaded areas
• Fire-resistant, waterproof polycarbonate and silicone housing
• Operating temperature: -22°F to 140°F
• One-button operation for simple, intuitive use at height
• Mounts universally to hot sticks via chuck adapter (not included)
• Powered by a single 9V alkaline or lithium battery
• Available in 60Hz or 50Hz models
