In this video I use an oscilloscope to measure the inrush current caused by an induction motor starting with a variable speed drive (VFD). I do this to show some of the challenges clamp meters can face getting this measurement as an RMS reading when there is distortion of the waveform.
I also explain how an electrothermal circuit breaker works by preventing overloads and short circuits.
Circuit breaker instantaneous tripping current, should it be RMS or peak current?

Equipment used:
Agilent / Keysight DSO-X 2000 Oscilloscope
HT Instruments HT9022 Power Clamp Meter
Yokogawa CW10 Power Clamp Meter
Fluke 43B Power Quality Analyzer
Thermal magnetic circuit breaker
