Electrical current clamps[edit]

What about an elecricians current clamp? Could someone describe how that works?

Here is a link to a page describing the theory of electrician's current clamps ... http://www.ayainstruments.com/applications2.html

The use of "current clamp" in biology is surely a corruption of its use in general electrical and electronic instrumentation. I propose that this page be repurposed to describe the electrical/electronic variety (currently included in the clamp meter article), but I'm not sure whether it would be best to keep the current content or move what little there is to a new Current clamp (biology) article. Any opinions? -- Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 18:07, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Current clamp vs current probe. A current measurement device that generates as ouput a voltage is a current probe not a current clamp. So a Rogowski coil is a cuurent probe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.83.11.38 (talk) 14:05, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Empty sections[edit]

The following headers contained no informations. Until anybody fills them in, I think they make the the article look strange. Therefore I moved them here. Please fill in anything you know about their subjects!

Reference[edit]

The reference to google scholar is spurious.

It displays a bunch of wholly irrelevant papers.

I guess its purpose is to avoid software classifying this page as deficient for lack of references. I deleted the spurious reference to avoid this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.85.79 (talk) 17:20, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of image[edit]

I had previously added an image of a digital clamp meter and an editor has removed it mentioning single image is enough. I believe there are lot of differences between a digital clamp meter and an analogue type and the article had contained only such analogue clamps. I do not want to edit war so I've brought this to discussion. Shriram (talk) 17:47, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say you are right to show both so that they can be compared. The digital example you chose also happens to be interesting because the jaws meet at an angle rather than curving to meet head-on. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 11:49, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
