A clamp meter is a test instrument used most frequently to measure large currents in industrial applications. Clamp meters are available that can measure currents up to 2000 A.

To measure the current in a conductor, you clamp the meter around the conductor so that the conductor passes through the space between the jaws of the meter. The jaws of a transformer-type clamp meter contain coils that are the equivalent of a transformer’s secondary winding. As the current changes, the magnetic field around the conductor changes, and this induces a current in the clamp meter’s coils that is proportional to the current in the wire. Measuring this current will also give you a measure of the current in the conductor.

What are Clamp Meters so popular?

  • Safety: Clamp meters allow electricians to bypass the old-school method of cutting into a wire and inserting a meter’s test leads into the circuit to take an inline current measurement. The jaws of a clamp meter do not need to touch a conductor during a measurement.
  • Convenience: During measurement, it is not necessary to shut off the circuit carrying current—a large boost inefficiency.
  • Service: Repair existing systems on an as-needed basis.
  • Installation: Troubleshooting installation problems, perform final circuit tests and supervise apprentice electricians while installing electrical equipment.
  • Maintenance: Perform scheduled and preventative maintenance and system troubleshooting.

In addition to measuring AC and DC currents, modern clamp meters also have the measurement functions that you’d expect to find in a multimeter, including resistance and continuity, voltage, frequency, and in some cases, capacitance. These features make life a lot easier for the industrial technician. Instead of carrying a whole slew of instruments out to the plant floor, into the field, the technician need only carry his or her clamp meter.
