Clamp Meter Instrument Information
An Electronic meter containing a lever activated clamp that combines a basic digital multimeters with a current Sensor. The jaws are used to clamp onto a wire and measure current at any point in a system, without disconnecting the system. Typically, the meter also has parts for connecting other probes to measure voltage and resistance.
Common Uses
- Measuring the current in a system where it is preferred to not disconnect the entire system, due to safety and convenience.
- Measuring current over the limit for a digital multimeters (10 A for 30+ seconds).
- Measuring voltage and resistance in an electric system.
Common Types
- Voltage Type (AC, DC, AC/DC)
Measurement Parameter
- Current
- Voltage
- Resistance
Calibration Discipline
Calibration Equipment Used
