Monday, February 10, 2014: A clamp meter for test and measurement applications is an electrical tester that combines a voltmeter with a clamp type current meter. Today’s models have incorporated more measurement functions, improved accuracy, and in a few instruments, some unique measurement features. The latest clamp meters have most of the basic functions of a digital multimeter (DMM) combined with the added features of a current transformer built into the product. There are many types of clamp meters, but one needs to choose the one that best suits their requirements.
