Patent ID: 10228393

Abstract:
A multifunction testing and measuring device having a probe body with an elongated portion extending outward from a rearward main body portion to a hook-shaped forward end, the hook-shaped end useful for isolating a conductor under test, a slide closure member adapted to slide longitudinally forward from a rearward open position to a forward closed position, the closed position useful to capture the conductor under test within a space encircled by the combination of the hook-shaped end, the closed slide closure member, and the rearward main body, with the space encircled including a current sensing zone, and having test leads integral to and stowable on the main body. The multi tester comprises circuitry adapted for detecting a magnetic flux generated by an electric current passing through the conductor under test positioned within the current sensing zone, for sensing current and inrush current, as well as selectably measuring voltage, continuity, and resistance between the test leads.
