Using the digital clamp meter will be uncomplicated and also a safe way in measuring the current in the circuit. This isn't like the regular meters, the clamp type will not put a meter into your circuit, but it will measure the field that is induced by the current passing through your clamp. It will be suitable for the moderate voltage and also the current applications. Here is more information for you. It contains of some simple steps that you can take in order to get what you really want.

For the first step, you can remove the power from a circuit, if it is possible. By working on the hot circuit, it will involve the extra risk for you and also all the equipment involved.

For the second step, you need to isolate the wire that is carrying the current that you need to measure. After that, open your clamp portion of the meter and you need to close it around a wire that you need to measure the current passing through.

For the next step, set your clamp meter in order to read a current type and the range that is expected in the milliamps or even amps. If you do not understand about the range, you can guess high, and then dial down as your needs.

For the last step, you can return the power to a circuit and then read a digital display, then write the value down in order to avoid repeating a process. If your reading fluctuates, you can give it one minute in order to settle down. After that, remove the power from a circuit. Then you can remove your clamp meter.
