Have this exact meter for a few years now and and as an electrical and electronics engineer I have found really useful and reliable. Just after I bought it I gave it to a friend who calibrates meters etc. for a living and straight out of the box it was almost perfect, in fact he was quite surprised as it stacked up against the FLUKE meters very well. It does seem well built and I have drop tested once or twice (not on purpose) and it still checks out fine. And if it's good enough for BIG CLIVE then it's surely good enough for me. Craig

[@divingquokka]

Great Scott has one as well. That's why I bought it :-) .

[@chrisengland5523]

The offset when you measure dc current comes from the earth's magnetic field, not from inductive pickup from nearby kit. As you pointed out, you need to zero this out before you measure dc current. The mistake you made, which might account for the difference in the reading between the two meters is that you altered the orientation of the clamp meter between zeroing it and clamping the wire. Once zeroed, it's important not to rotate or move the meter about.

[@martinlanza1236]

It's a handy and well priced unit - like you I wanted a small multimeter with a DC current clamp - I'm happy with it but it does function/read slower than my Fluke

[@asrulamru7255]

Thanks for the review. It is even better than what many people think because it reads true RMS instead of just average AC amps. technology to have these AC/DC reading is more expensive than just to measure AC amps. The price is very economical indeeed.

[@trevawgathinny1114]

If anyone's wondering if this meter is sensitive enough to use to detect earth leakage current,then the following measurements I made might be of interest. AC current UT210E measurement 3 mA 0 4mA 0/1mA 5mA 2/3mA 6mA 4mA 7mA 5mA 8mA 6mA 9mA 7mA 10mA 8mA 11mA 8/9mA 12mA 10mA 13mA 11 mA 14mA 12mA 15mA 13/14mA 20mA 18mA 25mA 22/24mA

Is this with the probes or the clamp?? If it's the clamp...wow...very good.

[@30mAkills]

I like this info

[@MrSoundman1955]

When I bought mine it was the only inecpensive clamp meter that did DC. There are a lot of AC only clamp meters out there aimed at three phase industrial guys for whom disconnecting a cable to insert an ameter is not an option. But if you are checking Battery banks, you also don't want to disturb well bolted down connections. A proper test should always be done with a calibrated multimeter, but for quickly testing a lot of thick wire in a fuse box this meter is really good and for the money it is excellent. ps . It defaults to AC because that's the primary use of these meters.

[@radu3g]

2-3 mA DC difference on your first test is coming probably from voltage drop caused by shunt resistance. If you leave both meters in circuit , you might get even better results/closer to each other.

[@rolandberendonck3900]

He did not zero the meter near the wire, which is recommended by the manufacturer which has a significant impact on the measuring result.

A very well presented and thorough review. Calm and collective.

[@pyromen321]

What I think is most impressive about the UT210E is the input protection. It seems like it’s CAT rating is accurate. I have never seen such a cheap meter with a huge section dedicated to MOVs and fat PTCs

[@dragonfireproductions790]

NCV is non contact voltage just like the pen you use to see if a wire is energized or not

[@blockeduser5769]

Thanks for sharing The clamp ammeter looks plenty accurate enough for circuit building too. Convenient not to have to switch the leads on the Fluke from Volts to Amps or Milli Amps or worry about blowing a fuse. Worth the $50

[@SimpleElectronics]

It does seem accurate up to date, it is a VERY nice little unit, especially for the price. In the end, I don't even need a +/- 10mA meter in clamp format but this thing is far more accurate than that

@@SimpleElectronics hi Thanks for this great review I'm interesting at buying a DC clamp meter, and i cant choose between the ut210e to the BSIDE ACM 91 Both pretty similar but both have their pros and cons I'll appreciate it if you can help me out which is the best one to go with, as i looking for the most useful & reliable one that will not failed after several years. For now I have the BSIDE adm 20 fo a while and I like it. Some of the uni-t pros against the BSIDE are; Diodes test( the BSIDE have a temperature instead) Looks slightly better instructed inside Much known company, but as my current adm20, usually you get more features with the unbranded like bside then unity ( which you pay more for the brand too) The uni-t cons \lacks( against the BSIDE are ) Looks slightly slower to reading values \boot\ switch modes Not looks that auto range at AC ( have some programs to choose from ) I dont know if i just imagine( according to the videos I've seen) or the lcd backlight is weaker Needs to turn The dial to Off position which is less instantly to boot and wear out more the dial over time..- but by the other hand , the BSIDE can be powered on accidently.. The ncv on the BSIDE looks more noticeable to my taste, and it have the live mode, which i don't know if and how useful it, but its a nice feature to have AND ONE OF THE MOST LIKELY part at the BSIDE, is the design, which you can hold in one hand with attached probe, looks comfortable to me.. Hope you can help me out which is the best one

Please can you explain why you moved the clamp jaws to face in the correct direction? This was not made very clear in the video.

[@SimpleElectronics]

The current can be read in either direction but if you go against the direction of the arrow, you get a negative value, just easier to show a positive value for the video - but it's the same thing.

[@c0mputer]

For what it’s worth, for checking parasitic draw on a car, I connect my multimeter leads to the battery and cable first and then disconnect the cable from the battery. It all stays connected and going through the meter. It’s like doing the old switcheroo.

[@electronmarkboggess63]

seems like something worth having in my box ..as an auto tech as well this would work great for checking current draw on charging and cranking systems as well as others .. I have amp clamps for my lab scope but I have to do the mV-amp conversion in my head which isn't hard but this seems way better..I don't even want it for the other stuff I only ever use the VDC function anyway as I scope almost everything else..think i'll be picking one up soon thanks for the input

[@SimpleElectronics]

Pick one up for sure, but it may be a bit low amperage for a cranking system, and even a bit for a charging system, if it's charging full pin. You can definitely check out alternator excitement current and parasitic draw though

[@SimpleElectronics]

Yeah I certainly did not expect perfection for this price point, but it certainly does do a reasonable job for the price. thanks for your comment!

[@jonathanwarner1844]

The only reason to buy this is to measure DC current using the clamp in the 2 amp range. That's why I bought it - to measure charge currents in sealed lead acid battery chargers where inserting a meter in line seems to throw the delicate regulator circuit and make measurement impossible. So anything else is a bonus really. One bonus with this meter is the reasonably good sample rate. The other is True RMS.

[@cbmech2563]

There are some hidden jewels at HF but theres a lot of dodgy stuff as well, but lately theyve been upping their game and adding higher end brands with better quality for a bit more money and its working pretty well for them. The HF "Earthquake" air impact wrenches have really taken off as they have decent build quality and Snap-On tool company has taken them to court for daring to compare the two brands - but HF broke no laws and Snap-On lost their case, its been interesting to see their cocky CEO making snyde comments on camera, fact is theyre getting some decent low $$ competition and theyre not liking it--lol.

Yeah no problem, the "power supply" is actually a hobby battery charger and it is outputting 2.2 Amps at 11.58 volts to an off-screen battery. The clamp meter is reading 0.561 Amps because the power supply (silver box on the left) is drawing 0.581 Amps from the wall outlet at 120 Volts AC - it is drawing roughly 60 Watts (120v * .5 Amps) so that the charger can deliver roughly 25 Watts (11.5 Volts * 2.2 Amps) to the battery in order to charge it.

[@whitehoose]

Interesting you use a $30 meter to test a $50 meter and assume that the $30 can be trusted more as the reference. And yet expect to have to send back the more expensive Uni-T. Price is not an indicator of quality or accuracy but certainly all the brands mentioned have credibility. As indicators all three would seem to be trustworthy. If you'd referenced your readings using the fluke I'd be more inclined to believe your arguments but if you assume that both the $30 meters were made on the same production line and calibrated on the same test rig, it's no surprise they are within a couple of mA ... you have no grounds to assume that two identical meters giving identical results means anything at all with regard to their accuracy. As they stand you could only class them as indicators. Ohms law isn't rocket science - you could so easily have tested round a simple battery and lamp circuit to prove pretty conclusively the accuracy of all the kit. You don't need fancy kit to get acceptable accuracy.

I'm just going with Fluke. Costs twice as much but at least I'll get something for my money unlike UNI-T. You can fleece a sheep every year but you only skin it once.

Fluke is father of all multimeter.its industrial meter safe for user even a dog can use it.

testing a Cheap China Meter with a Cheap China meter WOW That's a REAL TEST!

[@SimpleElectronics]

Send me a better one and ill test it against it! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@joseantonioduysens4257]

Well said, Simple Electronics. Recently I have seen a comparative UNI-T UT210E vs FLUKE 287, and it was impressive. The results obtained with the UNI-T were better than expected.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWeUamCufN2eg7M

The measurement physics is, but they didn't have integrated circuits or printed circuit boards 100 years ago.

[@patrickhutchins6935]

you should delete this video; if you don't know what NCV stands for you should not review meters

[@oltovac]

I think that yours Ut210 is more accurate than your crapy dmms ✌️

[@SimpleElectronics]

well that's a tough call, I really don't have anything fancy to compare with, but really, a few millivolts/milliamps is nothing for a hobbyist to worry about, nor is it for a professional automotive technician, like me. If I really need to check accuracy ill get a calibrated voltage source and high accuracy resistors and we'll have some fun lol.

[@thevivekmathema]

you got fake ones

[@dangoneau]

Nope, it is legit, what makes you think its fake?

[@SimpleElectronics]

I'm pretty confident it is a real one, what are the signs of a fake one?

[@NEONETIES]

you bought over price things.

[@yaskulka]

Not to know what "NCV" stands for, or that capacitance measurement feature is there - you should not own this meter, or post useless "reviews". Stay out of electrical or electronics fields.

[@SimpleElectronics]

You are right, nobody is allowed to buy a multimeter until they pass a test administered by you - also, you need to be born already knowing electronics - how else would you go about knowing it
