basic principle of analogue clamp meter
CLAMP METER WORKS WITH THE PRINCIPLE OF HALL EFFECT..
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.
You can measure the electrical current with an amp meter. Amperage measures the current flow.
Answer 1When electrical current flows through a wire [or any conductor[, it creates an electromagnetic field which the clamp on Amp meter is disigned to detect and quantify. The meter loop is hinged and movable in order to open the loop to allow the loop to be placed "around" a single conductor. It is important that the loop be placed around only one conductor as if there is more than one wire conducting, then the fields from multiple wires will interfere with the meters ability to operate.The meter will have a switch [usually rotary] to change scales, and unless you know the approximate current flowing through the circuit, you should first set the meter to the highest current scale setting, and then switch to lower current scales until the proper one is found.

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.
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.
how to use the Clamp-On Meter Model GCM-600 to find the current of a DC power?
It is a multimeter with a clamp on facility to measure current using it as a current transformer.

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.
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!
Continuity tester, volt meter, clamp on amp meter, megger and ohm meter.
that meter call AVO meter or digital 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.
