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
