One of the most basic measurements of a clamp meter is ac current. Typical ac current measurements are taken on various branch circuits of an electrical distribution system. Determining how much current is flowing in various branch circuits is a fairly common task for electricians.

If the signal is being altered or distorted in any way, a meter with true RMS capability would give far better accuracy. A True-RMS meter can accurately measure both sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal waveforms.
