Hello,
Every clamp meter I have ever used when on the DC current setting, the reading ranges by about 200mA when no conductor is inside the clamp. Some meter readings even range just by rotating the meter with the clamp closed.
Now my question is why is this? Especially in the case where you can rotate the meter and it changes the reading. Both these cases are without conductors inside the clamp. I am curious as to what is going on inside the meter.
Many thanks,
