Total newbie here. Has anyone used a clamp meter for trouble shooting electrical?

Yes, but most issues are DC, so the clamp meter has to be special to read DC. Many are available today that tickle the windings to detect DC amps with some digital magic. IMO they are not required but find a clamp on helpful.

Lenny Iszak Well Known Member May 14, 2022 #6 This one works well too: KAIWEETS HT206D Digital Clamp Meter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z398YWF Averages DC clamp current well, and it's surprisingly accurate for other uses too like voltage and resistance. Lenny
