Measuring currentis a simple task – all you need to do is hook up amultimeterto 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 series with what you want to measure. This is ...
To measure ac current using a flexible current probe: Pre-measurement steps (to avoid electrical shock or personal injury): Do not apply the flexible probe around, or remove it from, hazardous live conductors. Take special care during fitting and removal of the flexible probe. De-energize the...
Like voltage, current can be alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). The electrical current is the intensity or rate of flow of an electric charge. Similar to measuring the voltage, we sometimes need to measure very tiny currents, i.e., in the microamp range, while other times...

to measure the variations in voltage that high-power loads generate when they are turned on. By doing so, it becomes possible to find out if there is some Reactive Power left in products with high-power consumption habits. Thereby, a certain amount of voltage can be reduced to save energy...
How to Measure Anything The book opens: Anything can be measured. If a thing can be observed in any way at all, it lends itself to some type of measurement method.No matter how “fuzzy” the measurement is, it’s still a measurement if it tells you more than you knew before.And thos...
Like you can use Fluke 376 FC True-RMS Clamp meter to measure the inrush current. Sometimes the inrush current shows a value which is higher than the rating of the circuit breaker, but still, the breaker does not trip. The reason behind this is, the circuit breaker works on a time v...
As a logical next step in the “How to Measure” discussion is to look after the non-uniformities in dark or Dark-Signal Non Uniformity (DSNU).These are the variations of the dark signal from pixel to pixel.It should be noted that the dark-signal itself can be composed out of : ...
PromotionsMy Account 0 Cart cart Inrush current can be 4 to 10 times greater than the normal running current, depending on the type of motor. So if a motor's running current is eight amperes and its circuit breaker is rated for 20 amperes, how is it possible that a clamp meter could ...
The purpose of the test circuit is to gain the THD + N of the op amp above the distortion analyzer noise floor to measure the true performance of the op amp. The addition of RA to the otherwise standard non-inverting buffer amplifier configuration alters the feedback factor or noise gain ...
