Abstract

A clamp meter includes a meter body and a clamp jaw assembly mounted to the meter body. The clamp jaw assembly includes a first clamp jaw and a second clamp jaw that are movable in relation to each other between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, distal ends of the first and second clamp jaws meet to define an enclosed area between the first and second clamp jaws, and in the open position, the distal ends of the first and second clamp jaws separate from each other to define a gap allowing a wire under test to pass therethrough. The clamp meter further includes a locking slider positioned within a slot inside the meter body. A switch assembly moves the locking slider longitudinally within the slot between locked and unlocked positions. In the locked position, the locking slider blocks the first clamp jaw from movement.
