The 15 mm open fork slips onto a conductor from the side — no need to thread a closed jaw around it — to measure AC and DC current up to 60 A. It's rated CAT III 600 V and True-RMS, so readings stay accurate on distorted waveforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-contact voltage detection, relative and zero modes, a backlit display, and a 1 m drop rating make it a quick, one-handed tool for crowded panels and junction boxes. It's backed by UNI-T's nearly 40 years of test-meter manufacturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen fork jaw (15 mm) for current access in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC and DC current up to 60 A, ±(2%+5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue-RMS measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-contact voltage (NCV) detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelative and zero modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacklit display; auto power-off (~30 min)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCAT III 600 V; 1 m drop protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUT256 Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOpen-Fork Current Access\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 15 mm open fork measures current without closing a jaw around the conductor, so you can take a reading on a wire in a crowded panel or junction box with one hand — where a conventional clamp won't fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAC and DC to 60 A\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UT256 reads both AC and DC current to 60 A at ±(2%+5), with True-RMS sensing that keeps AC accurate on the distorted waveforms common around electronic loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick-Work Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-contact voltage detection flags live conductors, a zero mode nulls DC offset, and relative mode references a reading — the basics for fast field checks.
