Talk:Clamp meter

message: Basically it is a current transformer device to measure the high values of currents without disturbing (interrupting)the circuit.
It is portable and used in HV or LV line current measurement.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ppuri506 (talk • contribs) 05:53, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

message: A comma is not for separating two individual sentences.
"Only one conductor is normally passed through the probe, if more than one conductor were..." is incorrect.
"Only one conductor is normally passed through the probe." is a complete statement and should be ended with a period.
"If more than one conductor were..." begins a completely new, separate statement and should begin a new sentence, complete with capital letter.
"...the meter brought out to a more-convenient place for reading." - No hyphen. "Convenient" is an adjective modifying "place", but "more" is not; also there is no potential for ambiguity in its omission. Compare to "Less-expensive clamp meters use an average-detecting rectifier circuit..." in which both hyphens are correct.

thread_title:  regarding amps 

message: I may be out of date, but this article does not agree with the terminology, familiar to me from 20 years ago, for the simple sensor devices which one would connect to additional equipment.
*Current clamp. An electrical transformer in the form of a split ring, which may be opened and clamped around an electrical conductor. The clamp contains one winding of the transformer, and the conductor provides the other. Small clamps are used for measurements, while large clamps are used for signal injection, e.g. for EMC susceptibility testing.
*Current probe. A small sensor which, like the current clamp, may be opened and clipped around a thin wire. It may simply be a small current clamp, or instead of a wound coil it may use a Hall effect device to provide an output more suited to the typical oscilloscope.
Since the basic current clamp is also common to both the current probe and clamp meter, my instinct is to rename/repurpose this article as Current clamp (electrical) and make the others redirects. Any opinions? For example, am I still living in the dark ages? -- Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 08:14, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: On reflection, I think it better that the current clamp article be re-purposed to describe electrical current clamps. Should the clamp meter content here be included in the move, or does it truly deserve an article of its own? -- Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 18:21, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I may be wrong about the relationship to current probes: I can find no evidence of a "probe" being  constructed using wound coils. -- Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 09:21, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Clamps and probes

message: The current text is wrong. A clamp meter is not a Rogowski coil. The latter is air-cored, while a current clamp (with or without integral meter) typically has a (split) toroidal ferrite core with the secondary (sensor) winding wound around it.
User:MancFrank1 ::There are AC clamp meters that use Rowgowski coils inside the conventional looking jaw.  These are safer that iron cored jaws as they don't saturate if the current is too high which can damage iron cored devices.  — Preceding undated comment added 11:15, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Scientific Basis of Clamp-on Ammeter

message: There are other structural and factual problems with this article, besides those discussed above. I propose merging it into a revitalised Current clamp article. Any opinions for or against? -- Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 09:34, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
