The clamp jaw at a glance

The clamp jaw is used to perform current measurement without having to make
physical contact with or disconnecting the conductor. The clamp jaw can be
opened and closed, allowing a maximum opening of 2 inches. Press the handle of
the clamp meter to open the clamp jaw. When measuring current, there are 3 jaw
markings to observe. Current is measured accurately by placing the conductor in
the middle of the 3 jaw markings. See
page 36 for more information on performing current measurements.
