A clamp meter is basically a device which is used to measure the electric current flowing through a conductor or a circuit. This is not a new invention and has been helping electricians for quite a time. These are designed in such a way that the device can be clamped on to the conductor with the help of the jaws and take readings regarding the properties of the current. This makes it easier and safer to work as the conductors need not to be disconnected to take the readings. While analog clamp meters have been in use for a long time, the current market has some great products to offer.
The digital clamp meter by Kyoritsu is a popular product that is highly efficient. Digital clamp meters are gaining popularity due the accuracy of the reading that it can provide. R&D into this field has also made them a lot safer and easier to use. Fluke clamp meters are also a great choice available in today’s market. The LCD display available on these devices makes it easier to take readings when compared to their analog counterparts. Even though they are built with all the safety concerns in mind, it is important that the user understands the proper way to use it.
