Hands-On: Amprobe Current Clamp Meters

ToolGuyD: Amprobe, a Fluke company, has come out with some new current clamp meters. They sent over 3 of the new models for our evaluation, and although I haven’t yet used them for a good project (although one might be coming up soon), I was able to do some bench testing.

Current clamps wrap around single wires (wires, not cables) to provide a non-destructive way of measuring current flow. They can also measure the current draw of plugged-in devices if you use a line splitter between the device and an outlet.
