DMM v/s Clamp Meters By Fluke India
http://www.fluke.com/fluke/inen/products/digital-multimeters.htmhttp://www.fluke.com/fluke/inen/products/digital-multimeters.htm • Myth • A clamp meter is a DMM with a set of inductive jaws replacing the test leads • Reality • A DMM is a voltage measuring tool with some current abilities • A clamp meter is a current-measuring tool with some voltage abilities
http://www.fluke.com/fluke/inen/products/digital-multimeters.htmhttp://www.fluke.com/fluke/inen/products/digital-multimeters.htm • Differences • DMM- Allows you to do electronic work because of its high resolution, it measures in milliunits • Clamp Meters- Electrical work is its forte, it measures to the nearest tenth of a unit, rather than in the milli-units you find in a DMM.
Situations Where Both Instruments are Required • Measure an analog conveyor speed signal and the respective motor current simultaneously, so you can calibrate the system for the required process flow • Monitor solenoid output while monitoring input from the PLC, so you can test the solenoid • Simultaneously measure electronic voltages and electrical currents at a motor drive, to troubleshoot line speed fluctuations • Monitor feeder voltage and current simultaneously, to troubleshoot nuisance trips. http://www.fluke.com/fluke/inen/products/clamp-meters.htm
Different Instruments for Different Jobs • Basic DMM - Only for basic voltage measurements • High End DMM - For job that require power quality work • Basic Clamp Meter - To ensure all three phases on your feeders are pulling the same current • Advanced Clamp Meter(with logging capabilities) - For resolving intermittent breaker trips http://www.fluke.com/fluke/inen/products/clamp-meters.htm
