dc ac clamp meter

Common  troubles  in  the  use  of  DC  AC  clamp  meter  and  solutions

Misaligned  readings  are  one  of  the  common  problems  with  using  a  DC  AC  clamp  meter.  This  can  be  remedied  by  following  calibration  instructions  and  making  sure  the  meter  is  on  the  correct  range.  Another  potential  problem  is  source  electrical  interference,  which  will  lead  to  variations  in  the  readings.  To  resolve  this,  attempt  to  relocate  the  meter  to  a  position  that  is  not  exposed  to  any  other  EM  sources  like  motors  or  power  cables.  If  you  follow  these  checks  it  will  helped  to  guarantee  testing  measurements  on  your  DC  ac  clamp  meter.

Common issues when using a DC AC clamp meter and how to troubleshoot them

How  to  measure  current  with  a  DC  AC  clamp  meter  Illustration  How  do  we  make  a  good  measurement  when  circuits  are  live?

In  order  to  correctly  measure  current  with  a  DC  AC  clamp  meter,  always  make  sure  the  meter  is  zeroed  first  before  you  take  measurements.  This  may  be  accomplished  by  depressing  the  zero  button  or  turning  the  knob  to  eliminate  any  offset  readings.  When  clamping  the  meter  around  a  conductor,  ensure  that  the  jaws  are  completely  closed  and  perpendicular  to  the  current  flow.  This  is  the  most  precise  way  to  measure,  here's  why:  It  is  also  important  to  scale  the  appropriate  current  on  the  meter  so  as  not  to  overload  it.  By  doing  this,  you  can  get  accurate  and  dependable  USA  current  readings  in  your  DC  AC  clamp  meter.
