[RE-wrenches] Multi-meters

[Will White]

Hello Wrenches,

I've started doing some work on 1,000 VDC systems so I need to upgrade my
meters. What I'd really like is a clamp-on amp meter that is rated for
1,500 VDC but they don't seem to exist. I want to get something now that I
won't have to upgrade in a few years if I end up working on 1,500 VDC
systems.

The only 1,500 VDC meter I've found are the Amprobe HD160C which is a
multi-meter (not clamp-on amp meter) that is rated for 1,500 VDC but can
only measure up to 2 A with their amp clamp attachment. The other option is
the Seaward Solar Utility Pro but I don't have that much money in the
budget.

Is it worth getting a 1,500 VDC meter or is 1,000 VDC enough? What are you
techs in the field using?

Thanks,
Will
