The utility model relates to a
current clamp and clamp type current monitoring equipment, and belongs to the technical field of current monitoring. The utility model provides a
current clamp which comprises a shell, two clamp bodies and a linkage
assembly, each clamp body comprises a driving section and a clamping section which are connected, the driving sections of the two clamp bodies are rotationally connected with the shell so that the two clamp bodies can be in an open state and a
closed state, the clamping sections are in an arc shape, and when the two clamp bodies are in the
closed state, the two clamp bodies can be driven by the linkage
assembly. The two clamping sections abut against each other and enclose to form a closed clamping ring; the linkage
assembly comprises a pushing piece arranged between the two clamp bodies, and the pushing piece is at least connected with one clamp body so as to drive the other clamp body to rotate reversely when one clamp body rotates at least in the process that the two clamp bodies are converted from the
closed state to the open state. The
current clamp and the clamp type current monitoring device at least solve the problem that in the prior art, the action
stroke of the current clamp is long in the opening and closing process.
