How does a DC clamp meter work?
a DC clamp meter works on the principals of what is called "Hall Effect." The meter creates a magnetic field, and the DC voltage passing through the wire interacts to crate a meter reading.
What is the sign for amp on a volt clamp meter?
A
What instrument is used to check the load amps of a compressor?
that meter call AVO meter or digital clamp meter
What meter reads amps and volts?
A volt-ampere meter. You can read current in two basic ways. The harder but more accurate way is to break the line where you are measuring current and basically insert the meter into the line so all current flows through the meter. The other type is a "clamp on" meter where the meter has something like a claw that you open and encircle the wire you want to measure. You determine the current by induction. The current flowing through the wire induces a smaller current in a loop created by the clamp on device. You can only measure current in one wire at a time. For example, you couldn't just clamp over a lamp cord and read a correct current because you are encircling two wires and the current going in each direction cancel each other out.
What is the instrument that mesures amper voliteg current?
Clamp meter according to the following link: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_measure_amperage&src=ansTT
Explain basic principle of analog clamp meter?
basic principle of analogue clamp meter
What is the Working principle of taung tester clamp meter?
CLAMP METER WORKS WITH THE PRINCIPLE OF HALL EFFECT..
How can measure nutral and earthing wire?
Nutral wire can be measured by using clamp meter, if there is a current passing through the wire, we got a reading in the clamp meter i.e. 2A. If we clamp the earth wire by the clamp meter the reading will be zero.

How-to use the clamp-on meter Model GCM-600?
how to use the Clamp-On Meter Model GCM-600 to find the current of a DC power?
What is the sign for amp on a volt clamp meter?

How do you measure amps on a 208V single phase circuit with a clamp on amp meter?
Clamp the meter around the energized conductor that is connected to the load to be measured and read the amperage off of the dial face of the meter.
Why Do not clamp live plus neutral cable in Clamp meter?
A clamp-on meter works by measuring the magnetic field set up around a conductor. Because the currents in the line and neutral conductors flow in opposite directions, their fields cancel and the clamp-on meter has nothing to monitor. So it must be placed around either the line OR the neutral conductor -not both!
What do electricians use to test circuits?
Continuity tester, volt meter, clamp on amp meter, megger and ohm meter.
What instrument is used to check the load amps of a compressor?
that meter call AVO meter or digital clamp meter
Where can one buy a used clamp meter?
One can buy a used clamp meter at pawn shops and stores that sell home improvement supplies that are left over from construction jobs. There are several online sites that also sell used clamp meters.
How do electricians check current flow in a circuit?
For AC circuits, amperage is checked with a clamp on amp meter. There is now in the market place a clamp on amp meter that will work on both AC and DC circuits.
