How To Measure Current On A Power Cord With The Fluke 375 AC/DC Clamp Meter

In this video, learn how to measure the current flow of any load going through a power chord with the Fluke 375 True-RMS AC/DC Clamp Meter.

A common mistake that is made is taking measurements around the entire chord. What this does is the positive and negative charge of the chord will balance each other out, therefore displaying a zero indication. If you split the wires, you will get a more accurate current reading.

The Fluke 375 FC True-RMS AC/DC Clamp Meter delivers high performance features and ease of use. It features a VFD low-pass filter for accurate motor drive measurements and wireless communications to transmit results to a smartphone via Fluke Connect. With true-rms ac voltage and current measurements, the Fluke 375 FC True-RMS AC/DC Clamp Meter enables you to accurately troubleshoot non-linear signals. You can measure AC and DC current to 600 A, voltage up to 1000 V with the fixed jaw clamp and is capable of frequency measurements up to 500 Hz. Additionally, the 375 is compatible with the new iFlex flexible current probe (sold separately), which expands the measurement range to 2500 A AC.

7 year old video just saved my butt. I did not realize that measuring adapters had multiplier windings! I thought my fluke 325 was defective when I measured my space heater to be pulling 20, 000 watts haha!

Need help, , my fluke 325 measures 0.21 on x1 and between 2.5 and 2.6 on x10 do I need to have it calibrated?

What is that device your using with the meter that is plugged in?

[richie]

Why am i getting different reaadings(amps) based on how the instrument is oriented?

[Munzer]

can i Measure DC current with this meter, ,? thank you

[fostexfan]

can you measure amperage with the probes?
