You could answer the question "Is it true that crystals can realign my aura?" entirely analogously, as I'm sure those have sold in millions as well. I just felt it proper to give some caution. But I do agree with the fact. | |
| Jun 29, 2018 at 22:49 | comment | added | Alfred Centauri | @Arthur, what argument are you referring to? I'm not sure what nit you're picking. It's simply a fact that the millions of clamp ammeters sold would be useless (as ammeters) if an electric current through a conductor did not create a magnetic field. If this bothers you or if anyone else mistakes this fact for an argument, I will gladly remove it. Shall I? | |

| Jun 29, 2018 at 8:59 | comment | added | Arthur | "the millions of clamp ammeters (like these) sold would be useless." Nit-pick: just because something has been sold in millions doesn't mean it's useful, or even works in the slightest. So that's not really a valid argument. | |
| Jun 28, 2018 at 9:40 | comment | added | Farcher | A relatively recent development was a multi-conductor clamp meter with several sensor coils around the jaws of the clamp. This could be clamped around standard two- or three-conductor single-phase cables to provide a readout of the current flowing through the load, with no need to separate the conductors. | |
