OVERVIEW | CURRENT CLAMPS<br />

Utilising current clamps makes it possible to measure AC and DC current without first disconnecting the operating<br />

voltage. This principle avoids all possible dangerous situations occurring, such as short-circuits.<br />

Current clamps can also be equipped to carry out other measurement functions, such as voltage, resistance and<br />

continuity tests.<br />

Simple and straightforward operation are just two of the particularly noteworthy advantages of a current clamp. The<br />

jaws of the current clamp completely enclose the live conductor under test. During the test it is possible to read the<br />

value via a digital or analogue display.<br />
