DC clamp meter recommendation
Looking for an accurate but inexpensive DC clamp meter. Suggestions? Thanks.
Forum Discussion
I'd like a single meter for RV use. That'd be
AC and DC Voltage... Is the Craftsman a True RMS AC meter?
AC and DC Amps... Does the Craftsman capture Peak Inrush Amps?
Capacitance... Those Air Conditioning Capacitors!!!
Freqency... Checking Generator Output...
I'm blessed to have a Fluke DVOM that a friend refurbed for me. It handles Capacitance and has saved me a TON of Trouble!
And a cheap HF Clamp-On Ammeter + Very Limited DVOM. The thing has served well, and uses a 9V battery. Another HF uses three button cells that add up to about the price of a new meter. So, add "Two AAA Batteries" to my "Likes List" for that Craftsman.
BUT!!! ALWAYS!!! Have a little cheap DVOM like HF often gives free with any purchase!!! Have one Home, the Car, the Boat, the RV. Give 'em to Friends.
I do nearly all my electrical projects with a free HF meter. Drop it, soak it, blow it up on the wrong setting? Break out another one!
