Data record instr.clamp-meter.inrush-capture

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

An inrush function arms the meter so that the starting current of a motor triggers a short sampling window, and the meter reports the surge current drawn at energization, which a steady reading would miss; the value is compared with the running current and recorded in the maintenance log.
