How Do You Use A Clamp Multimeter?
Clamp multimeters allow users to measure electrical voltage and current without the need to cut wires or open electrical access panels. Clamp multimeters can simply be clamped onto the power cord of a device. By selecting the correct functions, the user can get an instantaneous readout on the clamp multimeter’s display. The readout will be either in volts or amperes (amps), depending on whether voltage or current is selected. This can be a valuable tool for troubleshooting a household appliance. If the appliance is not drawing current through its power cord but a voltage is present, there could be a problem with the appliance’s power supply. Make sure the appliance or electrical device is turned on and is plugged into an electrical outlet. If you suspect there might not be a voltage present, check the circuit breaker to ensure it hasn’t been triggered. Select the function for the desired measurement. Some clamp multimeters have function knobs that need to be turned and others have func
