digital clamp meter - Useful Tips To Buy And Use of Digital Clamp ...
A clamp meter is a device which is employed to measure the value of electric current flowing through a conductor or circuit. The analog versions of these devices have been in use for many years. However, the digital meters are fast gaining attention due to many advantages they offer.
Digital clamp meters are convenient to use and offer more accurate readings as compared to their analog counterparts. Most importantly, these devices are extremely safe to use as they measure the current without coming in contact with the wires. Low maintenance and long life are other advantages worth mentioning.
Factors To Consider: There are many models of digital clamp meter available in the market these days. Manufacturers from all parts of the world design them with different features and functions. The first thing to decide is between the single purpose or multi purpose device. Multi purpose clamp meters are designed to measure voltage and resistance in addition to the electric current.
The buyers may like to choose among the indoor or outdoor clamp current measuring meters. While some of the models work for both the purposes, others may either work indoors or outdoors. The display of digital meters should also be checked to ensure that the readings can be read conveniently. Though, the LCD displays of these digital devices are admired for offering crystal clear views.
The types of current that a clamp meter measures is another important factor. Some measure AC, while other measures DC. There are models that are designed for the dual purpose. The range between which the device can measure the current value should also be of concern. Considering all functions and features of different devices can help in better comparison and the right selection.
Tips To Use: A digital clamp meter is quite easy and safe to use. However, the first-time users should learn some good tips to make the best use of these devices. First of all, it is advised to switch off the current while putting the clamp around the wire whose electric current value is to be measured. The user must learn the instructions to use different buttons and functions of these devices while purchasing them or from an expert later. The next step would be to set the type of current and range within which the reading is to be recorded.
Finally, switch on the power and note down the reading that the device shows. Some fluctuations may occur and the user must wait for the reading to get stable. Once the reading is noted, the power should be switched off and the clamp meter should be removed.
Clamp meters are of great sue for the electricians as well as the homeowners. These devices can help in keeping the expensive appliances safe against damage. Something like a digital clamp meter is an extremely handy and portable device that can be used to frequently measure the values of the current.

The Murals of Obama?s First Term
"We love Obama" on the wall of Jumpstart Learning Center.Photo by Camilo Vergara.
On the wall of the Jumpstart Learning Center in Detroit, President Obama is depicted as a preacher addressing a crowd of tiny people from behind a lectern.
?We like Obama around here,? says the center?s director, Ms. Lockhard, who commissioned the painting from a neighbor for $150 during the first year of Obama?s presidency. When I commented that Detroit doesn?t look any better now than it did three years ago, Ms. Lockhard replied that her immediate neighborhood has improved.
Since Obama first took office in 2009, murals of his likeness have been appearing on the walls of fast food restaurants, barbershops, storefront churches, and other inner-city businesses across the U.S. The president is frequently pictured alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. A South Los Angeles resident explained this choice to me: ?Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther King could walk. Martin Luther King walked so Obama could run. Obama ran so we can all fly.? A large mural at Master Burger in South L.A. suggests that Barack Obama has become president with the help of Marcus Garvey, the Tuskegee Airmen, Sojourner Truth, and other members of the black pantheon.
Urban murals typically show Obama wearing a tie and smiling. Often he has the up-tilted face and earnest demeanor of the famous ?Hope? campaign poster: a statesman reflecting on issues of global significance.
When painted by African-American artists, Obama?s tie is often red, his jacket blue, and his shirt white, this combination echoing the American flag that is often also incorporated. When Obama is depicted by Latino artists, on the other hand, he generally has Latino looks and lacks red-white-and-blue dress.
Lance Estos Bradley is proud of the mural of Obama he painted in an empty lot in Central Harlem for the Tabernacle of Deliverance.
"I did it lifelike," he told me. "I picked the photograph myself in the Internet. It reflects a moment in time when a black man was elected president. I didn't think it would happen in my lifetime, and it may never happen again." The slogan written in big letters in the mural, ?Yes We Can,? feels dated in 2012.
The murals are signs of trust in the president, but in some cases the paint is beginning to chip away.

Reader rants: Cagereaders weigh in on Frankie Edgar?s fight, GSP?s return and more from the MMA world
Frankie Edgar is moving to featherweight and getting an immediate title shot against Jose Aldo at UFC 153. What say you, Cagereaders?
Interesting move for Frankie. If he doesn't win, then where does he go from there. I guess one challenge at a time? -- Mark Jimerson
Frankie has a huge chance don't count him out! -- Monzeil Jhamal Flemming
Jon Jones' reported request to Dana White to get Chael Sonnen to cool it with the trash talk also got you talking.
I don't know if I buy this story. There has been so much Jones hate, and I am sure this post will draw even more. This one sounds like BS to me. -- Eric Chism
I wonder if this is a sign of things to come with jones? Can't believe he wouldn't take the fight! I don't blame dana for feeling the way he does. I think jones is a terrific fighter, but wonder if character flaws will be a problem. I'll be watching. -- Kevin Armitage
Whether he deserves it or not, Sonnen is now the uncrowned 205 lb champ until Jones proves otherwise. Refusing to accept a challenge is the same as forfeiting. -- Jason Zachary
Georges St-Pierre was medically cleared to fight. Will he be back to his former self? Cagereaders weighed in.
I hope not. I hope he will fight to win instead of fight to not lose his belt. Maybe knowing that Condit has the interim belt it will motivate him to prove he deserves to be the champion. -- David Bernetich
There is no upside to the time off, obviously. It's a negative performance-deflating incident no matter how great his rehab went. The only question is if he is indeed good enough to come away with a win against Condit so that he can get BACK to where he should be AFTER the fight...no doubt in my mind this will be his biggest challenge in his entire life...any athletes out there would agree with me. -- Kyle Ertl
Anderson Silva said he didn't finish Thales Leites because of their friendships. Here's what Cagereaders had to say about this.
During one of Joe Louis's title defenses, he fought John Henry Lewis. Before the fight, Joe told his trainer that he didn't feel comfortable fighting such a good friend of his. Joe planed on carrying John for the full 15 rounds because he
did not want to hurt him.
Joe's trainer stated that he would be more likely to hurt John if he were to carrying him the full fight. Therefore, Joe went out and KOed John in the first round.
Both continued to be good friends. John Henry Lewis retired after his fight with Joe. It was the biggest purse of his career. -- Wrestling Roots
Its an embarrassment to the sport. They are professional fighters so they should act like it. -- Helio Fabian Rangel
