If you incorrectly connect your clamp meter to a circuit, or if you have the clamp meter on KM 181 wrong setting, you damage the meter and possibly hurt yourself. You can also get into trouble if you try to measure the voltage across a charged capacitor.
Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit-breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches socket-outlets in the fixed installation, & equipment for industrial use & some other equipment, for example, stationary motors with permanent connection to the fixed installation.
