Clamp Meters

A clamp meter is a device that is used for measuring electrical current flowing through a conductor. It has a clamp-like jaw that surrounds wires that detect the magnetic field generated by the current flow. Clamp meters can measure current without physically contacting the circuit and provide a safe and non-interrupting way to measure AC and DC.

Various Types of Clamp Meters

1. AC

AC clamp meters measure alternating current (AC) flowing through a conductor. They detect the magnetic field produced by AC to provide accurate current readings without the need for direct contact.

2. AC/DC

An AC and DC clamp meter can measure alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) in both electrical systems.

3. Leakage

A leakage clamp meter is developed to measure a small amount of current leakage in electrical systems. This method helps in finding safety problems or inefficiencies caused by surplus currents.

4. Power and Harmonics

Using a power and harmonics clamp meter you can measure power consumption and evaluate electrical harmonics in systems. It helps analyze efficiency and power quality problems in electrical systems caused by harmonic distortion.

How to Select the Best Clamp Meter

• Check if the meter covers your required current measurement range.
• Choose a model that measures both AC and DC currents.
• Look for high precision for accurate readings.
• Verify the jaw size fits around your wires or conductors.
• Check for safety ratings for proper electrical protection.
• Choose a meter that has a clear, easy-to-read backlit display.
• Select a lightweight and portable meter for convenience.
• Consider additional features for advanced versatility and functionality.
