a DC clamp meter works on the principals of what is called "Hall Effect." The meter creates a magnetic field, and the DC voltage passing through the wire interacts to crate a meter reading.

What is a clamp meter?
It is a multimeter with a clamp on facility to measure current using it as a current transformer.
What is the sign for amp on a volt clamp meter?
A
What instrument is used to check the load amps of a compressor?
that meter call AVO meter or digital clamp meter
What meter reads amps and volts?
A volt-ampere meter. You can read current in two basic ways. The harder but more accurate way is to break the line where you are measuring current and basically insert the meter into the line so all current flows through the meter. The other type is a "clamp on" meter where the meter has something like a claw that you open and encircle the wire you want to measure. You determine the current by induction. The current flowing through the wire induces a smaller current in a loop created by the clamp on device. You can only measure current in one wire at a time. For example, you couldn't just clamp over a lamp cord and read a correct current because you are encircling two wires and the current going in each direction cancel each other out.
What is the instrument that mesures amper voliteg current?
Clamp meter according to the following link: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_measure_amperage&src=ansTT
How do electricians check current flow in a circuit?
For AC circuits, amperage is checked with a clamp on amp meter. There is now in the market place a clamp on amp meter that will work on both AC and DC circuits.
How-to use the clamp-on meter Model GCM-600?
how to use the Clamp-On Meter Model GCM-600 to find the current of a DC power?
Can you measure amp in the DC?
Yes but the meter has to go in series with the load. There is a new clamp on amp meter being introduced, that will measure larger DC amperages without opening the circuit.
Can DC ampere be measured with AC amp meter?
No. The ammeter must be designed to measure DC. Some clamp-on ammeters are designed to measure both AC and DC.
Which energy meter is required for calculating DC?
Most volt/amp meters have a DC mode. You measure DC voltage by putting the two probes across the voltage source. You measure current by either putting the meter in series with the load or using a clamp on amp meter that measures current flow through induction.
Will energy meter work in dc power?
Yes, it will.
Explain basic principle of analog clamp meter?
basic principle of analogue clamp meter
What is the Working principle of taung tester clamp meter?
CLAMP METER WORKS WITH THE PRINCIPLE OF HALL EFFECT..
How can measure nutral and earthing wire?
Nutral wire can be measured by using clamp meter, if there is a current passing through the wire, we got a reading in the clamp meter i.e. 2A. If we clamp the earth wire by the clamp meter the reading will be zero.
How many voltmeter and ammeter are in dc watt meter?
There is no volt meter or amp meter in a DC watt meter.
Does watt meter use for ac and dc?
No, on dc the power is measured by the produce of the voltage and current so there is no need for a wattmeter, which would not work on dc anyway.
What is a clamp meter?
It is a multimeter with a clamp on facility to measure current using it as a current transformer.
