[RE-wrenches] Multi-meters

[Kevin Pegg]

I've been packing a Hioki Power Quality Analyser along with me to all manner of remote sites for at least a decade. It has performed perfectly and would not hesitate to recommend that brand.

I've google searched for 1,500 VDC meters and didn't come up with anything other than the Amprobe model.

I looked at the Hioki website and it looks pretty amazing and it costs around $340. It's got many features plus it hooks to an app via bluetooth so it can datalog.

Hi Will, Jay, et al,

I have three years experience with a lower capacity Hioki clamp meter and could not be more pleased.

Have you investigated what a Google search offers?

Thanks,

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
