Explain how to read very low currents in a control circuit using a clamp-on amp meter.

What will be an ideal response?


A wire in the control circuit should be coiled ten times and the clamp-on meter should be clamped around all ten coils. A reading can then be taken, but the reading will be ten times the actual current, so it must be divided by ten. The reason we use ten turns on the coil is to make the math calculations easier.
