Measuring AC Amperage
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to make a current measurement with
the test leads. The EEDM575D measures the current by
clamping the jaw around one conductor (wire).
Clamping around more than one wire will result in
erroneous readings. Make sure the temperature probe
is NOT plugged in during this test.
Instrument set-up:
FUNC. BLACK RED MIN MAX
TEST LEAD TEST LEAD READING READING
NOT USED NOT USED 0.01A 400A
Measurement Procedure:
1. Disconnect power to circuit to be measured.
2. Set rotary switch to function.
3. Clamp the jaws around one conductor of the circuit
to be measured. For best results, center the wire in
the jaw.
4. Reconnect power to circuit to be measured.
5. Read the current on the EEDM575D.
Optional Modes
(See Other Features Section)
• D-H: Freezes the reading on the LCD.
• MAX/MIN: Records minimum and maximum
measurements
• P-H: Displays peak amperage.
