Fluke 376 FC True RMS AC/DC Clamp Meter with IFlex Review

[@pointedspider]

Wow glad ur back bill! I was genuinely worried!

[@SparkyChannel]

Hi! I'm sorry about the problem. Everything is fine here, it's just that the channel got hacked and the hackers deleted everything. Great to hear from you and have a great weekend!

[@mikestoolfun]

I have this 376 FC meter and it kicks ass!

[@SparkyChannel]

Oh yes. A very fine meter!

Sparkman is the best! Please give him a thumbs up to help him rebuild his subscriber base. That helps KZbin to share it more with others. Thank you.

Hi Joe! Did you see my new video released today? If not, I think you'll like it. :) And thanks!

[@jamesgarrison6430]

Good luck getting it all back

[@SparkyChannel]

Thanks so much James!

[@MrStanwyck]

Great video Bill. I’m happy to see your subscriber count is growing. Any news in regards to getting your channel back? Have a great weekend.....

[@SparkyChannel]

Thanks! Sean from Fluke is a real expert. No news on getting the big channel back. I haven't heard a thing from KZbin. There is still a possibility though. You have a great weekend as well!

[@randymathews3348]

Damn Sparky! I didn't even know you got hacked! Wish you luck and tell belts n boxes thx

[@SparkyChannel]

Hi Randy! Good to see you. Yes, Rob has been very generous in letting people know what happened to my channel. You're just in time too. I've got a really good video coming out tomorrow AM. Check it out if you can. Hint: the viewers are going to be the judges. :)

[@asadbabilbabil7791]

Hi sir . I buy fluke 376 . It is very iamportant and easy to use. Thanks

[@garydudgeon]

A really good looking meter Sparky. The FC bluetooth and the I flex would give a troubleshooter some options. Thanks for the great video.

[@SparkyChannel]

Isn't Sean excellent? He's so knowledgeable. Big video coming up tomorrow AM, I'm hoping it will ignite this channel and get it going. :) The video is fun but also very educational. And it is unique. LOL!

[@lvggeneratorservicellc7683]

I use my 376fc daily, not a fan of only being able to get hz readings from the amp reading settings. There should be a setting to read hz from the vac setting by pressing the function button just like the 87v, 189 and 289.

I want to know more about iflex

[@eddiekytia]

Hey buddy! Hoping you can help me with a clamp meter. I dont know much but truly looking to learn! I want to purchase a clamp meter under 200 for AC AND DC current I'm looking for something SAFE/WELL PROTECTED and capable of reading AC AND DC current from .5 amps to 60 amps as accurately as possible through the clamp. Do you have 1,2 or 3 suggestions. I was looking at the Klein cl800 but someone told me it will not read AC AND DC current through the clamp down to half amp accurately..... THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE ME

[@ДОМИНАНТНЫЙМАЧО]

the higher current you measure the less accurate results. The lower the more accurate. 1% at 100 amp will give you about 1amp accuracy. So it could be 99amp or 101 amp

[@marsa74]

This device, and many other clamp meters as well, has only 1 digit after the decimal point. Hence, you cannot distinguish between 1,44 A and 1,4 A. But you can distinguish between 14,4 A and 14 A, which means a 0,1% accuracy can only be reached for higher currents > = 10 A. This seems to be the primary use case for this and other clamp meters. Fluke has another clamp meter that resolves lower currents with higher accuracy but I guess it will become difficult with a < 200 bucks budget for the range you mentioned.

[@okiedoke6373]

Thanks for posting

[@HieuNguyen-gc6kx]

What is the yellow ZERO selection on the meter?

[@marsa74]

This is for reminding you to hit the yellow button at least once to set the zero current baseline when measuring DC current.

[@polly8462]

In the first measurement with the clamp it measured a value and then with the iflex it measured another value.

[@SparkyChannel]

Yes, I noticed that as well.

[@Impedancenetwork]

Yeah, the meter/built-in clamp has an accuracy spec and a repeatability spec. It is impossible for 1, 2, 3 or 5 of the same meters to measure exactly the same current. And one more factor comes into play. The clamp on the meter is a different type of current device than the flexible probe. That flex probe is a Rogowski coil that is going to have it's own accuracy and repeatability specs so there is no way unless you get lucky that they will read the same current measure as the built in clamp.

[@shiningstaer]

Would you say this is the final solution for amp measurement?

[@kishorevenugopal6191]

VFDs don't make motors more efficient, at least the purpose is not to make motors more efficient

[@SparkyChannel]

Thanks!

[@freedomisntfree131]

will it read micro amps?

[@alexandredumoulin8868]

This is incorrect; this clamp cannot read small current. Anything under 0.2-0.3A is in the lowest range; the meter has no smaller range.

[@llVIU]

since alexandre said no, I'm going to suggest you get a long wire and make 10 coils, this will amplify your amps by 10 times. So if it reads 32 amps, it's 32/10 = 3.2 amps.

[@freedomisntfree131]

@@llVIU I understand how to do that. As an HVAC Service Tech, it is rarely possible to check flame sensors like that. Flame sensor wires are almost never long enough for that.

[@alexandredumoulin8868]

@@llVIU's trick is correct but requires the ability to coil the cable to measure in several loops and inserting the clamp within the loops.

[@webbtz3591]

Iflex can't measure voltage.

[@SparkyChannel]

Correct, it measures amperage.

[@raheel0]

I measured current using iFlex on a run of 3 conductors connected to single node (Red phase), The connection was similar to demo shown in video; the measurements were proximality 290A on a single phase whereas when I doubled the turn of iFlex in order to obtain precise reading as showing in official channel of fluke at following link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqXMZYakgc9-ha8 Surprisingly, I noted that the current doubled exactly. Can anyone explain me which measurement method is correct, single turn of iFlex or Double turn?

[@GuyFromJupiter]

Either is perfectly valid. The measurement made without doubling the iflex around the wire is the correct value. Doubling the iflex will always read double the actual current being measured, which can actually be quite useful if you are trying to measure a rather small amount of current. This is exactly the same as making multiple turns of a wire through the jaws of a clamp meter.

it measures hertz not frequency just like how a tape measure measures inches, not distance

[@Impedancenetwork]

I think you have that wrong. It does measure frequency. The units of frequency are Hertz. Your tape measure does not measure inches. It measures length in units of inches.
