    This is a review of a Fluke 381 Clamp Meter with iFlex. I demonstrate its versatility with the detachable remote display and the iFlex current clamp in a household distribution board.

    Fluke 381 Remote Display True-rms AC/DC Clamp Meter with iFlex™

    * Wireless technology allows the display to be carried up to 30 ft. away from the point of measurement for added flexibility without interference with measurement accuracy
    * The removable magnetic display can be conveniently mounted where it is easily seen
    * iFlex flexible current probe expands the measurement range to 2500 A ac
    * CAT IV 600 V, CAT III 1000 V
    * Integrated low pass filter and state of the art signal processing allows for use in noisy electrical environments while providing stable readings
    * Proprietary inrush measurement technology to filter out noise and capture motor starting current exactly as the circuit protection sees it
    * Ergonomic design fits in your hand and can be used while wearing protective equipment
    * Radio transmitter automatically sets the correct measurement range so you do not need to change the switch positions while taking a measurement

  • Multimeter Hi Res digit rounding....or not.

    A list of my multimeters can be purchased here:
    http://astore.amazon.com/m0711-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=5

    In this video I demonstrate how some multimeters with a Hi Res (high resolution) mode round the last digit when switching back to a low resolution mode. In essence they just "hide" the last digit which is not the correct way they should handle this.

    Equipment used:

    * Brymen TBM867 / BM867
    * ISO-Tech IDM207
    * Fluke 87-V
