Clamps do not require you to break the circuit and they safely measure wires with thousands of amps. In this video, we measure DC current in the lab, AC current of a reflow oven controller, and the DC current in a car using a Tenma 72-7226 True RMS Clamp Meter. This video was the last one I did before moving to a new house / lab.

AddOhms: Questions and Answers #1https://www.baldengineer.com/addohms-questions-and-answers-1.htmlFri, 14 Mar 2014 02:00:31 +0000https://www.baldengineer.com/?p=2324In the past couple of months, AddOhms has caught a little bit of a following. Nearly every day I have new questions coming my way. I decided to it was time to address a couple of really good questions in a video response. Ironically, in the video I mentioned giving “behind the scenes” info with each video. However, for this one, I don’t really have any. I can say that the next video is going to be on transistors…

Understand the difference between DC and AChttps://www.baldengineer.com/understand-the-difference-between-dc-and-ac.htmlWed, 25 Sep 2013 14:10:17 +0000https://www.baldengineer.com/?p=1910The fifth episode of AddOhms tackled the difference between AC and DC. One of the things I wanted to stress in this tutorial is that even though the acronyms stand for “current”, they get used to describe voltages as well. Which, after a video on the difference between voltage and current, seemed like something that needed to be stated.
