HIOKI 3280-20 | Clamp Meter | 1000 A, CR2032
Genuine Hioki 3280-20 clamp meter from General Tech Services LLC, Saudi Arabia, with free Saudi Arabia shipping available.
Part No. 3280-20
Product Overview
The Hioki 3280-20 is a compact 1000 A AC True RMS clamp meter designed for electrical troubleshooting and maintenance. Its slim, double-opening jaw provides convenient access around conductors, while the 33 mm jaw accommodates common conductor sizes.
The meter measures 42 A to 1000 A AC and voltage up to 600 V. It also provides resistance and continuity measurement, making it suitable for routine electrical testing on panels, motors, equipment, and other AC systems.
True RMS measurement provides accurate AC readings when working with distorted or non-linear loads, including equipment affected by variable-frequency drives, switching power supplies, and other electronic loads.
The Hioki 3280-20 is rated CAT III 600 V for current measurement and CAT III 300 V / CAT II 600 V for voltage measurement. Its slim design is 1 m drop-proof, supporting use in demanding field environments.
The 3280-20 does not support Bluetooth or the optional Z3210 Wireless Adapter. Hioki lists the 3280-20F as its successor, so availability of the original 3280-20 should be confirmed when ordering.

Who This Product Is Best For
The Hioki 3280-20 is suitable for electricians and maintenance technicians troubleshooting electrical panels, motors, machinery, and AC circuits.
It is also suited to industrial maintenance teams measuring high AC loads, HVAC and building-services engineers, and contractors who need a compact True RMS clamp meter for field measurements.
Its slim double-opening jaw can be useful when working around conductors where access is limited.
How to Use It
- Select the appropriate AC current function and measurement range.
- Open the jaw and place it around a single conductor rather than the complete cable.
- Close the jaw fully and read the measured current.
- Use the appropriate measurement function for voltage, resistance, or continuity testing.
- For voltage or resistance measurements, connect the supplied test leads as specified in the instrument manual.
- Follow applicable electrical safety procedures when measuring energized circuits.
