How an amperage reading would be taken using a clamp-on?
Simply "clamp-on" the clamp of the amp meter to any electrical conductor supplying the equipment that you wish to check while it is in operation. It is better to use your clamp-on with each individual conductor one at a time.
What do you use a clamp meter for?
The clamp part is for measuring amps via induction. You set meter to amps and clamp around only a single wire. Device you are measuring must be operating. This means you couldn't clamp around a lamp cord to a table lamp since the current induced in each direction cancels out. You would have to separate the wires. An electrician would carry a short extension cord with the wires already separated. Most often a clamp meter is use to checks amps in a breaker panel on the black wire coming from the breaker.
How would you determine the amperage drawn on each breaker in your electrical panel?
To determine the amperage drawn on each breaker in your electrical panel, you would need to use a clamp meter to measure the current flowing through each circuit. The reading on the clamp meter will indicate the amperage drawn by that particular circuit. Make sure to follow proper safety procedures and consult a professional if you are unsure.
How would one get a water meter installed?
To get a water meter installed you generally have to have someone install it for you, and you can either apply to have someone do that for you, or pay a professional to do it.
What should the multimeter be set on to measure charge?
Current is measured in amps so the setting on a multimeter would be A Measuring current with a multimeter is only to be done by someone with training because it can be very dangerous It is much better to measure current with a clamp meter
What would one use a clamp on meter for?
A clamp meter measures the vector sum of the currents flowing in all the conductors passing through the probe, which depends on the phase relationship of the currents. Only one conductor is normally passed through the probe. In particular if the clamp is closed around a two-conductor cable carrying power to equipment, the same current flows down one conductor and up the other; the meter correctly reads a net current of zero.
How do I use a clamp on amp meter?
Answer 1When electrical current flows through a wire [or any conductor[, it creates an electromagnetic field which the clamp on Amp meter is disigned to detect and quantify. The meter loop is hinged and movable in order to open the loop to allow the loop to be placed "around" a single conductor. It is important that the loop be placed around only one conductor as if there is more than one wire conducting, then the fields from multiple wires will interfere with the meters ability to operate.The meter will have a switch [usually rotary] to change scales, and unless you know the approximate current flowing through the circuit, you should first set the meter to the highest current scale setting, and then switch to lower current scales until the proper one is found.
What would happen if the meter leads were connected to the positive and negative terminals of the batter while the meter and leads were set to read amperes?
Usually nothing. (You would not get a reading either) The other way around (connected to measure current but set on voltage reading) will burn a fuse or the device entirely. On my Fluke 23 it will blow the fuse.
How many centieters would someone have to run in a 200 meter dash?
2000
Where is a whales fluke located?
'Fluke' is the term for the lobe of a whale's tale, usually used as a plural. One would say, "look at the whale's flukes."
What is the result on the meter reading of clamping the jaws of a clamp-on ammeter around two wires?
If the two wires are on a parallel feed you would read the current through the parallel feeders. If the two wires are "hot " to the load and return back from the load the meter will read zero. The two magnetic fields that surround the wires when a current flows through them will cancel each other. As a result of this there will be no magnetic induction induced into the sensing coil of the clamp on meter.
