Digital Ammeter

An instrument used to measure electric current flow in a circuit, displaying the value digitally for accuracy and ease of reading.

Voltmeter

An instrument used for measuring the electrical potential difference between two points in an electric circuit.

Clamp-on Ammeter

A measuring instrument that can measure the current flow in a conductor without requiring any physical contact or disconnecting the circuit.
