[RE-wrenches] 1000vdc rated multi meter/clamp on

[August Goers]

We have a couple of Fluke 381 meters. I recommend them although battery life
has been a problem. Now we always keep spare batteries in the case.

I like having the iFlex option for measuring amperage where the standard
clamp jaws can't reach. The removable display is nice but not a must have
for me.

Our crew members supply their own meters here at Luminalt. I've seen all
kinds of brands with differing quality. It is somewhat shocking how often
cheap meters fail or give the wrong readings. There is nothing worse than
having a meter you need to count on either not work or give a bogus reading.

Separately, I have a fluke 116 meter for HVAC and it is my go to for normal
day to day work. We still service solar hot water systems and it reads
thermistors accurately whereas the normal electrician types meters often do
not.

HI All,

I’m in the market for a 1000vdc rated multi meter clamp on.

I am looking for what others would buy again or have thoughts on.

It doesn’t have to be a clamp on, but I would need a clamp on option.

I’ve looked at the Fluke 233, but the flex clamp doesn’t work with it, and
maybe there are some issues with battery life The 375/376 FC look solid The
Seaward clamp meter

And there are a few others.

All thoughts are welcome,

thanks
jay
