Fluke Meters [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell, Ozark Solar]

Mark,

My 36 worked great for a few years.  I was able to zero out the DC amps
easily and temp. seemed to make no difference.  This summer it has really
started to torture me.  I am able to zero it out and before and get it on
the wire it floats off again (never more than ~5 amps).  It does seem to be
affected by temperature.  The fluke tech I spoke told me that the 36 is very
affected by magnetic fields (duh) and to be careful when working around
them. I am preparing to send it back and get it checked out.

I also have a old F.W. Bell CG-100A Current Gun.  It's pretty accurate but
it's no longer made and requires a DMM to read the output.  What clamp on
meters are others using to measure DC current?  The 36 seemed to be about
the only thing out there that would DC low DC measurements.
