Chauvin Arnoux supplier in Romania
Multimeters, earth testers and electrical measuring instruments
Who is Chauvin Arnoux and what does it make?
Chauvin Arnoux is a French manufacturer of electrical measuring instruments, with more than a century of history and a group of 10 subsidiaries, present in more than 120 countries. The range covers digital multimeters (including variants for explosive-risk areas, such as the MTX 3297Ex, under the Metrix and Multimetrix brands), clamp meters, earth testers for measuring earth resistance, insulation testers and megohmmeters, network and energy analysers, oscilloscopes, function generators and spectrum analysers. We can quote individual instruments or sets for electrical maintenance teams.
The range also includes testers for telecommunications and data networks, as well as testers for transformers and electrical machines. The ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications concern quality management and environmental management respectively.
For electricians and maintenance teams in Romania who carry out periodic checks of electrical installations — earth connections, insulation, power quality — the Chauvin Arnoux range offers an option with technical specifications for each instrument family, useful in choosing the instrument that suits the type of check required by the regulations.
What do we supply from the Chauvin Arnoux range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Digital Multimeters (Metrix, Multimetrix, MTX 3297Ex) | Multimeters for general electrical measurements, with a variant certified for explosive-risk areas (MTX 3297Ex), used in petrochemicals or other environments with a potentially explosive atmosphere. For a quotation we need the type of measurements required and whether the installation is ATEX-classified. |
| Earth Testers / Earth Resistance Controllers | Instruments for checking earth resistance in electrical installations, switchboards and substations, used for commissioning and periodic verification of protection installations against electric shock. |
| Insulation Testers / Megohmmeters | Instruments for checking the insulation resistance of cables and electric motors, used for preventive maintenance and for detecting insulation faults before they cause failures. |
| Network and Energy Analysers | Instruments for monitoring electrical power quality parameters — voltage, current, harmonics, power factor — used in the energy audit of industrial installations. |

How do we supply Chauvin Arnoux in Romania?
We work from the manufacturer's technical documentation for the technical descriptions above, and we bring in Chauvin Arnoux instruments to order through supply channels in the EU, usually in 1–4 weeks after order confirmation. For a quotation we need the type of measurement required (insulation, earth resistance, power quality) and whether the verified installation is ATEX-classified. Calibration and metrological verification of the instruments are carried out separately from the equipment supply, through accredited laboratories.
Periodic calibration and metrological verification are carried out through accredited laboratories, and we confirm the availability of ATEX variants in the quotation.
Frequently asked questions about Chauvin Arnoux
What is the difference between the MTX series and the F series at Chauvin Arnoux?
The MTX series comprises portable digital multimeters, used for spot measurements of voltage, current and resistance, while the F series brings together clamp multimeters, suited to reading current without breaking the circuit. The choice depends on the type of measurement: direct contact with the wire for MTX or clamping around the conductor for F.
What does the CA 6611 tester from Chauvin Arnoux do?
The CA 6611 checks the phase sequence and the rotation direction of three-phase motors before equipment is commissioned, avoiding a wrong connection that would run the motor in reverse. It is useful when commissioning new electrical installations or after maintenance work, where the phase order must be confirmed quickly, without dismantling.
Do you supply Chauvin Arnoux instruments in Romania?
Yes, Chauvin Arnoux multimeters and analysers can be brought in to order; we do not keep this range on the shelf, and supply usually takes 1–4 weeks, depending on the model and the accessories requested. We recommend confirming the exact code, since some series have variants with similar names but different functions.
What should I send for a quotation on a Chauvin Arnoux multimeter?
Send the exact code wanted, for example MTX 3290 or F407, the type of measurements needed — current, voltage or insulation — and whether certification for hazardous areas is needed, such as the MTX 3297Ex model. These details allow the correct choice from the Chauvin Arnoux range, which covers both general use and special applications.
How do I request a Chauvin Arnoux quotation?
Send the Chauvin Arnoux code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
