As a person who utilizes multimeters, I wanted to try one that had a clamp. So, I am reviewing the RuoShui Digital Multimeter Auto Ranging Clamp Meter.
The main key features for this device are:
– Comes with a zipped cased.
– Comes with two triple AAA batteries (Note: You must unscrew the back panel to install the battery)
– Can accurately measure up to 600A DC/AC Current, Up to 600V AC/DC Voltage, Frequency or Duty Cycle, Resistance, Capacitance and also provides Diode, Continuity and Temperature tests. True RMS for accurate measurements on non-linear loads.
– Comes with test leads.
– Has a backlight function
– The meter has dual impedance test capability to prevent false readings caused by spurious voltages
– NCV non-contact voltage sensing, when detecting current and voltage, it will prompt sound and light according to the voltage intensity
– Digital clamp meter offer a safe, effective way to test electric currents without stripping wires.

But let’s go ahead and check to see how things are with the RuoShui Digital Multimeter Auto Ranging Clamp Meter. The price is at under $40 and is great hobbyists and for home use.
The SEL/ZERO Function can clear measurement results easily. The backlight function is great for those who need to use this at night or in the dark. It can also function as a flashlight.
The multi-function dial allows one to change the setting to Accurately measure resistance, capacitance, diode, continuity. Easy to use in laboratory factories and homes.
If the device is not used in 15 minutes, the clamp meter will beep three times and it will switch off automatically to conserve battery power.
But I really do like how the clamp works, and how it really can tell AC current just by putting the clamp next to it. The device also did a good job in testing AC voltage.
But I do like the non-contact voltage sensing of this device and for its multi-function. This is the first time using something with the clamp, but I was impressed and it really is a cool multimeter worth checking out!
