Will this read DC amps with the clamp?

Oh my meter is a Fluke 375. But the Fluke 375 and 376 are brothers. Absolutely! That is one of the nice advantages of this meter. The inrush current feature works on the DC ammeter also. I was measuring 12 volt inrush DC engine starting current of our home standby generator with it in addition to measuring inrush AC starting current of compressors.

Yes. Works great for chasing down stray currents in the amp category (not milli or micor amps)

Steve, I just discovered the adjustment pot for zeroing (or at least get it close to spec) the DC clamp current. Turn the meter over, then open and remove the battery cover. On the back you will find two holes to the left of the center chassis screw. The hole closest to that center chassis screw locates the adjustment pot for the DC clamp current mode. Turn the pot clockwise to decrease the value towards negative, counter-clockwise to increase the value towards positive. Use a miniature Phillips #1 (3mm shaft) screwdriver. See the photo I uploaded.

It gives a running digital reading of amperage AC current, not DC. It has no capture capability for highest amperage event, your eyeballs have to do that. It does give quick readings however on a continuous basis if amps are selected, or watts, or volts or cycles per second or kwh.

Not really. I use it to set the gains on my amps, but you'd just know where the knob is at where it clips, not how much power it's putting out. Get a pair of multimeters and set one to ohms and one to volts and do some simple math.

If it's only one strip, it will draw about 2amps so this meter will not read that accurately. Get one that has a built in shunt that will measure 5 or 10 amps and won't require the complexity of adding a shunt.

Hmmm... well, yes it sure did do that. However I returned the one I ordered because I needed to read down to 50 ma and up to 500 ma mostly. The 376 didn't have that capability. It measured tenths of amps as I recall. I bought a different make and model and am very happy with it. It is: GTC CM100 1 mA to 100 Amps AC/DC Low Current Clamp MeterSold by Amazon.com LLC for about $140. GL Bob W5UQ ........ PS I wonder why I'm getting your question and not someone at Amazon or the Fluke factory? :-)

Two ranges, it will read out any amps but you will need to adjust the insensitivity by settings the decimal point. Otherwise you may get confused by all the numbers on display. I try to move it to the right for less numbers.

Yes, AC and DC amp measurements via the clamp only. So you will not be able to measure smaller currents using leads. I will add that I've been getting quite accurate readings down to the 1-2Amp range which is great considering the two range selections are 40A & 400A. I love it for the price but for mA current you'll prob need a meter w current leads. (In defense of this unit though; clamp meters were designed for higher current apps...) Hope this helps. JD

I used this meter for general use low voltage 1v -28v dc and some 110v ac. This meter is auto ranging. Looks like your looking for meter that measures milli volts below 1 volt I would not buy this model.

Yes, it'll read current no matter what's generating it. But what you really need is to put a load on the battery and see how long they last. You can calculate how much power they deliver.

I got this meter for my solar system. It will read amps below 20 amps. I hooked it up on my 10 amp light set with only one light on and it read 7.5 amps. Not sure how much lower it will go but I would assume it would read much lower. Good luck...

It will read up to 100amp if current continuious, I have it hooked up to an ACC unit to monitor usage
1041920
Yes it will. It will tell y the wattage, volt, amps that ar being used in the outlet it's plugged in.

Yeah it will fit in the clamp. But this this is a piece of junk. Broke right away. Look elsewhere

If your incoming feed is wired correctly, one clamp goes around black, the other around red. You can confirm with an AC voltmeter. Between black and red you should read 220-240V.

Yes it will. As long as you have 4 volts (and there is a way around this), it will read. There is a fairly well written manual that gives multiple hookup options. I suggest that you search and download this manual. It will answer many questions for your specific use. Good luck.

hi this meter does measure dcamps it got me out of strife on a truckit doesn't say in the instructions it measures dc amps but itm does try it use the jaws it works but the dc amps simble doesn't show when doing this test but it works
