I didn't know you could measure volts with the clamp part of a clamp meter.

You can't.


If it is of the newer (as in less than 25 years old) hall effect sensor
devices then it will be more susceptable to stray magnetic fields. There
should be a calibrate/zero button on it somewhere which you should use
just before you clamp on to cancel all these effects out before measurement.

If you clamp both active and neutral they will cancel out and you
will get no reading.

I have a Clamp Leaker 140.

Any idea how old?


The EMC BS EN 61326 standard was first released about 2006 so less than
13 years old.
