Current Clamp:
Attach an accessory current clamp to a digital multimeter to measure current without breaking the
circuit.
NOTE:
The following procedure applies to most DMMs and current probes. Some meters may
operate differently. Check the operator’s manual for your equipment to confirm.
Measure current with a clamp
−
on current probe using these steps:
1. Set DMM mode selector to millivolts (mV).
2. Connect probe to meter.
3. Turn probe on.
4. Use the zero adjust knob (if equipped) to zero the DMM display (with jaws empty).
5. Clamp probe around wire in circuit to be tested.
6. Orient the arrow on the clamp in the proper direction (in the direction of current flow).
7. Note the voltage reading on the DMM display.
8. Convert the voltage reading to amperes (1 mV = 1 ampere).
EXAMPLE
If the reading is 1 mV (millivolt), then the current is 1 ampere. If the reading is 15 mV, then the
current is 15 amperes.
