Comparison and Technical Exchange Between Clamp Meters and Digital Multimeters

 

Clamp current meter is an abbreviation for clamp current meter. As the name suggests, its main function is to measure current,


Although it also has some functions of a multimeter, its measurement range and accuracy are different, and the gears are relatively small.


Like a multimeter, pliers are divided into pointer type and digital type. At present, numerical selection has become mainstream, and pointer based methods will gradually be phased out.


This multimeter not only has the function of detecting AC/DC voltage and AC/DC current displacement, but also has functions such as transistor gear, capacitor gear, frequency detection, temperature measurement, etc., with more complete functions and more accurate measurements.


It has a wide range of applications, such as measuring fine products such as circuit boards and electronic components.


In practical electrical work and maintenance, clamp gauges are basically used in conjunction with multimeters, and both are indispensable.


Their focus is different. A digital multimeter can only detect currents below 10A and needs to be connected in series.


Clamp on ammeter does not require disconnecting the power supply and can be directly stuck on the line to be measured, therefore the AC measurement range is wider and more direct;


Clamp on ammeter is a type of ammeter that is selected based on the different objects being measured, and it has become increasingly advanced; The circuit leakage function is combined with the function of a multimeter.
