what is a current clamp and what are the types?
Hello student,
Current Clamp and its types
Current Clamp is an ideal measuring device, also known as 'current probe' for fast measurement of currents and voltages. These are used to read the magnitude of alternating current (AC).
Clamp meters are based on the principle of magnetic induction for making non contact AC current measurements.
Types :
- Current Transformer
- Iron Vane
- Hall Effect
- Rogowski Coil
Thank you.
