Multimeter & Oscilloscopes

Clamp Ammeter Measurement

• Connect both leads to the meter, black to common and red to V terminal

• If the clamp includes a range setting, select the most suitable for taking the measurement.

• Set the multimeter range to V dc according to the selection made on the clamp ammeter. Normally an mV/A value is indicated. Zero the clamp ammeter, the clamp will have a button to do this.

• Position the clamp around the cable to be measured, remember the direction of the current when putting it into position.

• When the circuit is activated, you will see a V reading on the DMM, this must be converted according to the range chosen on the clamp to Amps.
