HIOKI 3288 | AC/DC Clamp Meter | 1000 A, 600 V
Genuine Hioki 3288 clamp meter from General Tech Services LLC, Saudi Arabia, with free Saudi Arabia shipping available.
Part No. 3288
Product Overview
The Hioki 3288 is a compact 1000 A AC/DC clamp meter designed for electrical troubleshooting and high-current applications such as UPS battery systems and traction motors. Its clamp design allows technicians to measure current around a single conductor without opening the circuit, providing a practical approach to field current measurement.
The 3288 measures 100 A and 1000 A AC/DC. AC current measurement covers 10 to 500 Hz and uses average-rectified measurement. The meter also measures AC/DC voltage up to 600 V, with DC voltage measurement from 419.9 mV to 600 V and AC voltage measurement from 4.199 V to 600 V.
Additional functions include resistance measurement from 419.9 Ω to 41.99 MΩ and continuity testing. This provides a compact set of functions for electrical panels, motors, battery systems and general maintenance work.
Unlike the Hioki 3288-20, the 3288 does not use True RMS measurement. Its average-rectified AC measurement is intended for standard waveform applications. When working with distorted AC waveforms, the True RMS 3288-20 may be considered instead, depending on the measurement requirements.
The meter has a 35 mm jaw and a slim profile with a double jaw lever, making it practical for portable field use. Its safety rating is CAT III 600 V for current measurement and CAT III 300 V for voltage measurement.
The Hioki 3288 does not support Bluetooth or the Z3210 Wireless Adapter, so it can be used without an app or wireless setup.
Manufactured in Japan, the 3288 provides AC/DC current measurement, voltage measurement, resistance and continuity functions in a compact clamp-meter format.

How to Use It
- Select the appropriate current function and measurement range.
- Open the clamp and position it around a single current-carrying conductor rather than the complete cable.
- Close the jaw fully and read the measured current.
- For voltage, resistance or continuity measurements, connect the test leads and select the appropriate function.
- Use the appropriate measurement range for the circuit being tested.
- Confirm the electrical environment and applicable CAT rating before taking measurements.
- For distorted AC waveforms, consider whether a True RMS clamp meter such as the Hioki 3288-20 is more appropriate for the application.
Frequently Asked Questions
What current can the Hioki 3288 measure?
The Hioki 3288 measures 100 A and 1000 A AC/DC. AC current measurement covers 10–500 Hz and uses average-rectified measurement.
Is the Hioki 3288 True RMS?
No. The 3288 uses average-rectified AC measurement. For applications involving distorted AC waveforms, the True RMS Hioki 3288-20 may be more appropriate.
Can the Hioki 3288 measure DC current?
Yes. The 3288 measures both AC and DC current.
What voltage can the Hioki 3288 measure?
It measures AC/DC voltage up to 600 V. DC voltage measurement covers 419.9 mV to 600 V, while AC voltage measurement covers 4.199 V to 600 V.
What is the jaw size of the Hioki 3288?
The meter has a 35 mm clamp jaw.
What is the safety rating of the Hioki 3288?
The current measurement rating is CAT III 600 V, while the voltage measurement rating is CAT III 300 V.
Does the Hioki 3288 support Bluetooth?
No. The 3288 does not support Bluetooth or the Z3210 Wireless Adapter.
Can the Hioki 3288 measure resistance and continuity?
Yes. It measures resistance from 419.9 Ω to 41.99 MΩ and provides continuity testing.
Should I choose the Hioki 3288 or 3288-20?
The 3288 uses average-rectified AC measurement, while the 3288-20 provides True RMS measurement. Selection should depend on the AC waveform, required measurement capability, current range and application. Contact General Tech Services with your application details for model compatibility.
