I am looking to get a decent clamp on meter for measuring DC current. Just for occasional use. Many of them look to only measure AC current. I was looking at the Fluke 362 possibly, but would appreciate your input. |

It should be easier to measure AC current with a clamp-type meter than DC. Fluke is sorta the standard of the industry for scientific and engineering measurements. You get what you pay for. I suppose there might be better ones out there, but my first place to look for reliable measurements would be Fluke. I looked at the 362 manual and am surprised the accuracy/precision specs are as good for DC as for AC. Nice. Looks like a great unit to me. It appears the 365 is the same but with thinner and detachable jaws for smaller spaces. More expensive, but likely more versatile. Lou |

We use Flukes here at work. Most of what we do is 480 3 phase and we rarely kill a meter. |
