How to use the correct measuring clamp current meter

Answer:

1, in the high pressure loop measurement, prohibit the use of lead from the clamp ammeters another meter measurement. When measuring the phase current of high voltage cable, the distance between the cable head and line should be above 300mm, and the insulation is good, which can be carried out when the measurement is convenient. 2, the observation time, we must pay special attention to keep a safe distance from the head and charged part of the human body and any part of the charged body distance shall not be less than the entire length of the clamp meter. 3. When measuring low voltage fusible fuse or horizontally arranged low voltage bus current, each phase shall be protected or insulated by insulation materials, so as to avoid interphase short circuit4, the use of high voltage clamp current meter should be paid attention to when the voltage clamp current meter, prohibit the use of low voltage electric current clamp meter high voltage measurement circuit. With high voltage clamp meter measurement, by the two person operation, non duty measurement should fill in second working ticket, should wear gloves when measuring stand on the insulating mat, must not touch the other equipment, to prevent a short circuit or grounding.5, after the end of the clamp current meter to measure the switch to the maximum file, so that next time use careless flow; and should be kept in a dry room6, when the cable has a ground, it is strictly prohibited to measure. To prevent the breakdown of the ground due to the low insulation level of the cable head, and endanger personal safety.7, clamp meter measurement, near the wire current, also have influence on it, so must pay attention to the position of the wire to the equal phase.8, maintenance should not live operation, in case of electric shock.
