2. Current clamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_clamp

   An electrical meter with integral AC current clamp is known as a clamp meter, clamp-on ammeter, tong tester, or colloquially as an amp clamp. A clamp meter measures the vector sum of the currents flowing in all the conductors passing through the probe, which depends on the phase relationship of the currents. Only one conductor is normally ...

3. Multimeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

   A clamp meter. Any meter will load the circuit under test to some extent. For example, a multimeter using a moving coil movement with full-scale deflection current of 50 microamps (μA), the highest sensitivity commonly available, must draw at least 50 μA from the circuit under test for the meter to reach the top end of its scale. This may ...

6. Shunt (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunt_(electrical)

   A gas-filled tube can also be used as a shunt, particularly in a lightning arrester. Neon , like other noble gases , has a high breakdown voltage , so that normally current will not flow across it. However, a direct lightning strike (such as on a radio tower antenna ) will cause the shunt to arc and conduct the massive amount of electricity to ...

7. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

   Because they are used for domestic water measurement, piston meters, also known as rotary piston or semi-positive displacement meters, are the most common flow measurement devices in the UK and are used for almost all meter sizes up to and including 40 mm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in). The piston meter operates on the principle of a piston rotating within a ...
