When measuring current with a clamp meter, you sometimes need to wrap the wire around the clamp multiple times for low readings. This trick boosts the signal, but you must divide the result by the number of loops to get the true current. For example, if you wrap a wire 10 times around your UNI-T … Read more

Every time I use my UNI-T multimeter to measure DC current, I have to zero it first. This small step ensures my readings are accurate and safe. Without zeroing, the meter might show a small reading even when no current flows. This happens because of tiny electrical offsets inside the meter itself. Zero Drift Ruining … Read more

You turn on the backlight on your UNI-T multimeter, and it shuts off after only five seconds. This short timer can be frustrating when you are trying to take readings in a dark place. This is not a defect or a sign of a broken meter. It is actually a deliberate power-saving feature designed to … Read more

Getting the clamp around the wire for DC measurement on your UNI-T multimeter is essential for accurate readings. It matters because a wrong clamp placement can give you a false current value. For DC current, the clamp must encircle only one conductor, not the entire cable. This isolates the magnetic field from the single wire, … Read more

I’ve tested the UNI-T digital multimeter to see how well it measures DC current for the price. Knowing its accuracy matters because you don’t want to chase electrical gremlins with wrong readings. In my experience, the UNI-T holds its own against pricier meters for basic DC current checks. What surprised me is how consistent it … Read more
