I am looking at google for clamp on amp meters. I am just learning
about this stuff and would like to avoid any costly mistakes. I see
some clamp meters that measure more than just 60 hertz but give a
readout of frequency. I'm thinking that this might be the kind of
meter I might need in order to isolate the source by finding what is
eminating that frequency. Do you recommend any particular clamp on
amp meter as there are so many of them on the market? thanks.
