Amp Clamp Output Volts to Amps Conversion Charts was created by Andy.MacFadyen
Following from a question in another section Amp Clamp Volts to Amp conversion graphs
Simply go to the mV or V on the bottom X axis and the Amps Y axis.

It's more simple than this really. You don't need a chart.

100mv/amp. 100my is .100 volts so
.100v/1.000a so all you have to do is move the decimal 1 spot to the right. If the meter says .050 volts move the decimal 1 spot to the right. So .050 volts = .500 amps.

Similar with the others.
10mv/amp is .010mv/1.000amps.
You move the decimal 2 spots to the right.
So 50mv is .050 volts = 5.000amps

1mv/amp is .001mv/1.000amp
So you move the decimal 3 spots to the right
.050 volts = 50.000 amps

That's the way I do it anyway

You are right Bruce, that's how I do it too.
When this went up, we were seeing a lot of discussion regarding amp clamp conversions. Andy was cool enough to post the charts and I figured I'd sticky it as it seemed like a valuable resource.
Thanks for your contribution as well!
