Abstract: A clamp-on ammeter for measuring current flows in a conductor is described. The ammeter is of a type comprising a magnetic core which can be located about a conductor and an indicator which responds to the magnetic flux consequently generated in the magnetic core to produce a signal indicative of the magnitude of the conductor current. Means are provided for restoring the magnetic core to a predetermined magnetic state for each measurement. The resetting means include a coil wound about the core and a coil energizing circuit which can be activated to produce in the core a residual magnetic flux substantially identical to that produced in the core when unmagnetized by a DC conductor current of predetermined magnitude, which represents the maximum value of any DC current which can be measured by the ammeter.
