What is V.F.C in clamp multi-meters?

[arvinfx]

I have bought a nice clamp multi-meter UT210E , it has a function that is VFC , i want to know what exactly it is and how to use it?

It's something to do with "variable frequency" - but none of the documentation I can find so far clarifies what that means.

It may just be a frequency display?

From what I can make out, VFC introduces a low pass filter for AC measurements - cutting off above 400 Hz.

Most multimeters don't even go that high

thanks, but for what reason?

I wonder if its non contact voltage measurement, where you put one cornerof the meter near a voltage and it gives you an indication.

This should be your manual.

VFC = Variable Frequency voltage/current measurement prompt. They don't say much beyond that.
