Clamp meters are a type of multimeter for measuring current around a conductor. They are characterized by their jaw that clamps around the conductor to take a reading. #GalcoTV explains their basic functions and details how to take measurements with this video. | Galco

We use amperage to tell us how hard an individual component is working in a circuit. So, if you remember back to the voltage test, there's going to be a value that we expect to see. It's either gonna be 12.5 if we're on the DC side of things or 120 if we're on the AC side of things. When it comes to amperage, we're going to get our expected value from a tech sheet that the appliance comes with. So, I can pull up the spec sheet for your appliance and see what amperage different components in it s
