That background tune fading in and out just blew my mind. What genius thought it would be a great addition to the already mismatched audio of this video?

Probably missed the point that should be made that per the instruction manual "Make sure the conductor to be tested is placed at the center of the transformer jaw, otherwise it will cause +1.0% deviation based on the stated accuracy"

I am not an English speaking guy..Unlike other You tube videos, yours have text or printed explanations. That really helps a lot.. Your New subscriber..

thank you! just use the one wire! perfect

Thankyou for explaining you need to measure single wire at a time, I couldn’t work out why I was getting zero on my cable

2:23 ..and this is the thing I forgot again - was wondering why the clamp didn't work, thanks!

Thanks for this video. I actually want to know how much amperes an electric engine consumes in a three phase system. Do you need to measure all three phases separately and sum the values up to get the total consumption? Or should you still divide by 3 to get the average? Keep up the good vids ;)

Informative video, mate. Thanks. But the audio is in sync. I feel like I'm watching a godzilla movie from the 1950's

Thank you for your clear explanation of clamp meters. I am just starting with them, so this helped get the gist of them, but I have to say that it is annoying that when selecting which clamp meters is best for you, you encounter these annoying differences in accuracy. In your video here these 2 meters of the same brand (albeit different design) end up with 2 different measurements of the water cooker's AC current, namely 7.61 amp and 7.92 amp. That is so annoying. Which one is then the most accurate and why is that ? I am at the moment having several 30 to 90 dollars models from Amazon to compare and select and most of them give non comparable readings on something basic as this AC current. I would almosts say "I hate them all !" ;-p

thanks for explaining, was very helpful !!

I just did my truck alternator. It bounced from 2.13 to 1.80. At 20 A. So how many amps i have

Thx didn't know that on AC I have to take each wire separately to measure. In school we didn't measure AC current neither used a clamp multimeter

Thank you! I hade problems using this clampmeter. Now I understand! 👍😊

Exactly the explanation I needed. Thanks man

Great video! Thank you for explaining in detail!

Ahaha thanks so much, I was getting a reading of zero and almost returned the thing. Manual could have made it clearer 😅

Thanks, but you didn't discuss how the meter determines/reads -out current polarity.

Are you lip syncing or is your video lagging? Either way, it's something to look into fixing. Channel is great otherwise! Loved your review on the UNI-T139C

Awesome i just learned a lot from this. Thank You.

I clamped the jaws directly onto the insulated power cable running 220 volts to a domestic bar heater pulling 800 watts and got a reading of 0.7 amps on the 20 amp setting. Is this just a nonsense reading and what is causing the reading?

Thank you for posting this video it helped me.

in AC when clamping the entire cable (both conductors) it would read a Zero, as the alternativing current is out of phase: but my question is can it read the DC current when both DC conductors run through it ? you were so close to showing this in your demo...

If the meter shows zero amps on a single wire conductor while using the amp clamps, am I to safely assume that the electrical circuit is off or switched off?

appreciate video, would be useful to be able to more clearly seeing reading on tool when measuring larger gauge wires.

I learned something, Thank you

Very useful informations 👍

So if I'm welding with D.C current I need one that reads ac/dc?

Hi! Great video. If my multimeter says 00.00 every time even though electricity is clearly running through the wire, what does this mean? Is it too high or too low to read? Thanks.

Thank you for the video

So the "clamps" on the meters can only measure amperage? They cannot measure voltage or resistance without using the + or - probes??

Thank you for this informative video

I'm wondering if you can help! Can you use a clamp sensor on a 5 port meter to measure the total load from the grid?

thanks, really helpful this is

Useful info, thanks.

Appreciate the video. If I wanted to measure a house's main panel TOTAL amperage draw, would it be just the reading of 1 hot feed wire or do I add the value of both feed wires together (for standard meter service with two 120V feeds)?

great video, bravo!!

What do you have the power supply unit connected to? That would be helpful to know, so others can do a similar accuracy/verification test of their clamp meter.

What should I buy I want one that will read my amperage while I'm welding with direct current

Great Video👍👍

I bought a clamp multimeter UNI-T UT204+ . But I did not understand the REL/ZERO button function. I looked around internet but not able to find how to use that button. Can you please tell the functions of that button. Thank you in advance. Best regards.

Can this be used to test battery volt?

Thanks. Can I use this to test an ignition coil pack or spark plug wires?

Would this be the difference in a true RMS meter and a non true rms meter

ty for sharing dis video

Can they be used to find an open circuit as in a broken wire?

06:17 I could not find the video that you adviced, named "how to use multimeter". Can you please give the link of it.

Here's a hypothetical ... I have two feed lines (wires), both are power side (not common). Neither power wire is energized at one time. I would like to be able to measure current without having to clamp and re-clamp. Can I clamp both lines, and still read current (amps) on the energized wire, with no current in the other wire? Why? I want to have a helper watching the meter, while I energize and de-energize in a remote location.

For current measuring, are Hall sensor meters less accurate than current transformers, or about the same? Also, does it matter where, within the circle of the clamp, the conductor is? Will the meter be more accurate if the conductor is placed exactly within the center of the clamp?

Thanks mate

Thanks

Megger teast risestad test

Cool - what can i search for to find AC wires that are separated like that already? or must i make my own.. seems dangerous to risk a DIY at my novice level

nice and educating video how can we use this clamp meter to measure direct current from solar panel....? can we use probes to measure current like we do to measure voltage.

Thank you

I notice the leads are not installed ..can I use the clamp with my leads still attached to the meter?

Hi guys, what is “LIVE” option on clampmeter for?

why when I use the ut203 on DC, I can get two different readings depending on the direction of the + on the meter. If it is facing the battery positive or facing the battery negative it reads differently

its good job my friend

fantastic

Just bought a one dollar clamp meter brand new. It claims to be able to measure up to 300 volts ac and dc and up to 400 amps. When I set it to the specific modes I want to test out. It wont read any voltage or amps on those test. Its a chepo hyper tough from walmart. Not sure why it wont do any readings. Or is it just to cheap. How cheap can you go without sacrificing safety and accuracy?

Dear Kindly share knowledge about UNI T 203+ CLAMP METTER

I have this multi meter and have measured just one wire off of a 3 phase generator but only get between .013 or .054 amps from the wires. In any wire in my home after getting to just the hot wire or neutral I read .008 amps as the highest going to a 1kwh electric stove top. So I can see current just not anywhere close to accurate. Is this common? ( I started high and have gone to the lowest setting of 2/20A)

would there be any reason someone would get a multimeter over a clamp meter since a clamp meter can measure so many more amps?

Hey what happens if you use the clamp meter on the NEUTRAL wire while appliance is on?

if you don't get 0 net current in live and neutral this is likely due to an electrician wiring error in your house, as some current is not returning and going along another circuit (another neutral or ground, potentially even riding out on a water pipe); this is important as you are generating a net magnetic field in your house due to unbalanced net current, creating a health hazard as health effects are reported above 1 milligauss magnetic field, especially an AC field generated from AC currents

What is the meter you can measure current in dc

Well according to you which one is better then other please?

Shoot. I thought I can just hang this to an AC wire and get the ampere value.

Great video!

You didnt explaint the last two choise

Can it be used above 700 range

So what is the best DC clamp meter?

This is like a bad Japanese movie where the language spoken does not match up with lip/mouth movements.

Start ripping wires apart lol

Unity 203 model

What's up with that tune? It just distracts people

nice but better get something has true rms feature

Me idiot was trying measure voltage, voltage not current, clamping a fully isolated lead, after getting weird readings or nothing at all started googling how it's used, here I am, lol.

Preciso desse manual em português brasileiro

👍

En français svp

man, what's up with your knuckes? you must get really angry at those amps.

The CE on these meters stands for "China Export" instead of meaning that it conforms to European Standards. Tricky Tricky.

Annoying music

Horrible video. I enjoyed it! Useless. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
