Data record `instr.clamp-meter.one-conductor`

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: Medium

Only one conductor is placed in the jaw: the supply and return conductors of a circuit carry current in opposite directions whose magnetic fields cancel, so a clamp closed around both conductors reads the difference rather than the load current.

Provenance. Where this record comes from and where it is used: the cited source, the record itself and the entry that cites it.

Provenance: the chain from source to entry.
