Myth

◦ A clamp meter is a DMM with a set

of inductive jaws replacing the test

leads

Reality

◦ A DMM is a voltage measuring

tool with some current abilities

◦ A clamp meter is a current-

measuring tool with some

voltage abilities

Differences

◦ DMM- Allows you to do electronic

work because of its high

resolution, it measures in milli

units

◦ Clamp Meters- Electrical work is

its forte, it measures to the

nearest tenth of a unit, rather

than in the milli-units you find in a

DMM.

Measure an analog conveyor speed signal and the respective motor current

simultaneously, so you can calibrate the system for the required process flow

Monitor solenoid output while monitoring input from the PLC, so you can test the

solenoid

Simultaneously measure electronic voltages and electrical currents at a motor

drive, to troubleshoot line speed fluctuations

Monitor feeder voltage and current simultaneously, to troubleshoot nuisance trips.

Basic DMM - Only for basic voltage measurements

High End DMM - For job that require power quality work

Basic Clamp Meter - To ensure all three phases on your feeders are pulling the

same current

Advanced Clamp Meter(with logging capabilities) - For resolving intermittent

breaker trips
