Subject: Re: Fluke clamp meter



Westport, IN
It depends on how many amps. I use a Fluke t-600, i think that is the model, that works well and is very durable. It's amp end is open like a tuning fork. much easier to get on wires quickly, but it can't handle large wire I find it easier to trouble shoot motors using amps and you can get on all three legs quickly. It also has one setting for voltage, ac and dc. It even tells you which it is measuring. The biggest down fall is its display is accurate to the nearest volt. If you are wanting to do a lot of 12 volt work, it isn't accurate enough. If you do a lot of work on 12 volt starters and alternators, I would get a clamp on type that is rated 1000 amps DC on the clamp ring. They are more expensive, but would be extremely useful in trouble shooting. Not all clamp ons measure DC amps.
