Does your clamp report the true-rms
reading?
Is the problem with your motor or
your clamp?
Make sure your clamp meter is
working for you, not against you.
Imagine that you have spent the whole day
troubleshooting a problem with a motor only
to discover that the problem wasn’t really
the motor, but the clamp you were using to
measure it. You stake your reputation on your
ability to get the job done, be sure your
clamp meter is working for you not
against you.
First, make sure your clamp
meter reports the true-rms
reading. Otherwise noise
from everything
including a variable
frequency drive to
compact fluorescent
bulbs can result in
a less accurate
reading.
Have you ever dropped your clamp?
Do you use your clamp outside?
Ever used you clamp to pry apart wires?
If so, make sure you clamp can work
where and how you do.
Making accurate and repeatable results in a
laboratory is a good start. But you don’t always
work in a clean and controlled environment.
Before making a purchase, check whether the
clamp is specified to work in the environment
you do.
Be sure you don’t buy a clamp specified for
indoor use only or with a minimum operating
range warmer than 15 °F if you think you
might need to make measurements outside. If
the clamp isn’t designed for the outdoors the
measurements you get might not be accurate.
Finally be sure the clamp you are using is rugged
enough to continue to give reliable results after
years of prying wires apart, drops from ladders
and bouncing around the back of your truck.
Does the clamp have the correct rating for
the work you are doing?
Can you use the meter easily when
wearing personal protective equipment?
If the answer is no, you could be
in danger.
Your test and measurement tools are a critical
barrier between you and danger. They are quite
literally an extension of your body into a very
dangerous environment. First things first, be sure
you choose a clamp meter with an appropriate
category rating for the work you are doing.
Second, choose a brand with a reputation for
providing safe and reliable test equipment.
Anyone can buy a clamp meter and put their
brand on it. Only a few manufacturers design,
build and test their own equipment to exceed
international safety standards.
Finally, your clamp meter is part of a safety
system that includes personal protective
equipment (PPE). In addition to having the right
PPE, be sure that you can easily operate your
test and measurement equipment with that
gear in place.
Not using all the features on your
clamp meter?
If so, you could be wasting money
and functionality.
These days you can get almost
anything built into a
clamp meter (tape
measure anyone?). The
more gadgets that
are built into a clamp
meter, the harder it
becomes to use and
the worse it performs.
Instead of trying to
get the most features
possible, chose a meter
that has the measurement
functions you need to get
the job done, without
any of fluff that doesn’t
make sense. Plus, you
don’t end up paying for
features irrelevant to the
job at hand.
Four Things to Consider
