Nice post.

You really have to love EM interactions.

RE: Zero-Flux Current Sensors: Like in "Back to the Future"?

When I first watched "Back to the Future" in the mid 80s, it was not the original but the dubbed German version of the movie called "Zurück in die Zukunft". Therefore I learnt that Doc Brown's invention which made time travel possible was a thing called "Fluxkompensator" - or "flux compensator" in English. This "flux compensator" came back to my mind when I was looking into writing an article to explain "zero flux current sensors", because "compensating flux (to zero)" is essentially what happens there.

It was only after I found a really nice photo of that iconic DeLorean, when I learnt that in the original English version of the movie the "flux compensator" really was called "flux capacitor". This learning kind of killed the connection between the movie and the current sensors. However, because I really liked that DeLorean image, I decided to stick to my original storyline anyway.

Interesting line of devices.

Yes, it is amazing how much energy is wasted in poor connectors.

What is the difference between hall-sensor and zero-fluxgate technology?

Those are nice looking DMMs.

RE: AC/DC clamp meters versus AC-only models (when measuring AC current)

Not too bad, CM4372 is out by 1.36%, compared to the current probe on the power meter which is 0.3 % accurate.

Something to consider if your application needs high energy efficiency, and you need to verify that.
