It’s important to choose the best instrument for your application. This page explains how to measure current using each type of instrument. How to measure current with a digital multimeter A digital multimeter is an instrument that provides functionality for making basic measurements of electric ...
How to measure current with a digital multimeter Though the process of using a digital multimeter to measure current is fairly simple, it’s slightly more difficult than using a digital multimeter to measure voltage or resistance. That’s because to measure current, you need to break the circuit...
Measuring ac current with a clamp meter’s jaws. Note: Current flowing in opposite directions cancels each other. If current is moving in opposite directions, place just one conductor within the clamp during measurement.
How to measure current as a voltage drop across a shunt resistor If a current sense resistor (“shunt” resistor) is designed into the DC power supply, this is the most convenient approach. Measuring the voltage drop across the sense resistor with an active differential probe will provide good...
Most digital multimeters can only measure dc or ac current up to 10 A. Higher current must be scaled down with a current clamp accessory, which can measure current in a circuit from .01 A to 1000 A by measuring the strength of the electric field around a conductor. ...
How to Measure Current with an Oscilloscope Measuring current is a simple task – all you need to do is hook up a multimeter to the circuit you want to measure and the meter gives you a clean value to use. Sometimes you can’t really ‘open up’ the circuit to put a multimeter in ...

How can we measure current? Since current always creates a magnetic field, there areHall Effectand other sensors that allow us to measure this field and thereby measure the current. It is also possible to connect a shunt resistor within the circuit itself and directly measure the current, as ...
In this hands-on introduction to electronics, you will experiment with a multimeter and learn how to measure current using the ammeter function. Project Overview In this project, you will learn how to use an ammeter to measure electrical current (the flow of electricity). Typically, the ammeter...
In the image above with the splice in the cable, the module will measure the current flowing to all devices plugged into the power strip. Figure 4: For module measurement using a CT, the load wire (black in the US), is passed through the opening of the CT either via a split core ...
