Measuring AC or DC Current
Set up your clamp meter to measure AC current or DC
current (U1194A model only) as shown in Figure 2- 2. Clamp
the wire/cable, and read the display.
WARNING
Ensure that the test leads are disconnected from the input terminals
when measuring current with the clamp jaws.
CAUTION
Ensure that the clamp meter measures only one conductor at a time.
Measuring multiple conductors may cause inaccuracy in measurement
readings due to the vector sum of currents flowing in the conductors.
Use the wire separator to separate individual wires or cables from a
mesh of wires or cables. See “Using the wire separator and hook” on
page 28 for more information.
