Multitester and Clampmeter

The document discusses multimeters and clamp meters. It describes multimeters as electronic measuring instruments that can measure voltage, current, and resistance in one unit. It notes analog multimeters are still preferred by some as they continuously track measurements. Clamp meters are used to measure current in a conductor without direct contact by clamping around the wire. Both tools are used to measure electrical quantities and their parts and functions are explained.

Multimeter

A multimeter or a multitester,
also known as a VOM (Volt-
Ohm meter or Volt-Ohm-
milliammeter ), is an electronic
measuring instrument that
combines several measurement
functions in one unit.
Multimeter

A typical multimeter would


include basic features such
as the ability to measure
voltage, current, and
resistance.
Analog multimeter

 Analog meters are older and


still preferred by many
engineers. One reason for this
is that analog meters are more
sensitive to changes in the
circuit that is being measured.
Analog multimeter
A digital multimeter samples the
quantity being measured and then
displays it. Analog multimeters
continuously read the test value.
If there are slight changes in
readings, the needle of an analog
multimeter will track them while
digital multimeters may miss them
or be difficult to read.
Parts of Multimeter
Clamp meter
 In electrical and electronic
engineering, a current clamp
or current probe is an
electrical device having two
jaws which open to allow
clamping around an electrical
conductor.
Clamp meter
 This allows properties of
the electric current in the
conductor to be measured,
without having to make
physical contact with it, or
to disconnect it for
insertion through the
probe.
Clamp meter
 Current clamps are usually used to
read the magnitude of a sinusoidal
current (as invariably used in
alternating current (AC) power
distribution systems), but in
conjunction with more advanced
instrumentation the phase and
waveform are available.
Clamp meter
 Veryhigh alternating currents
(1000 A and more) are easily
read with an appropriate meter;
direct currents, and very low
AC currents (milliamperes) are
more difficult to measure.
Parts of Clamp meter
Are you able to understand the part and
functions of both multimeter and
clampmeter?
Great! Is there any more questions?
