A clamp meter is an essential tool for measuring electrical current safely and accurately without direct contact with the conductor.
How Does It Work?
Fluke clamp meters operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When current flows through a conductor, it generates a magnetic field. The clamp meter’s jaws, when closed around the conductor, detect this magnetic field and convert it into a readable current measurement displayed on a digital display
Key Features of Fluke Clamp Meters
- Non-Contact Measurement: Allows for safe current measurement without interrupting the circuit, making it ideal for troubleshooting and diagnostics in both residential and industrial settings.Â
- Versatility: Many clamp meters can measure both AC and DC currents, as well as voltage and resistance, making them multifunctional tools for electricians and technicians.Â
- Safety Ratings: High-quality clamp meters often come with safety ratings (e.g., CAT III or CAT IV) to ensure safe operation in high-voltage environments.Â
