UNI-TDigital Clamp Meter UT208B Inrush Current AC/DC 1000A TRMS HVAC Volt Amp Ohm Meter Clamp On Multimeter Auto Ranging 6000Counts Voltage Frequency LPF ACV Capacitance Duty Cycle Temperature Tester

I was very pleased with this clamp meter. I mostly bought for its DC mA capabilities. It goes down to 0.001 A which is 1 mA at the 2 A setting. I believe it is more like +/- 3 mA but that's understandable. I needed it for measuring the current my dash cams were drawing especially during parking modes. This was the perfect tool to have for this. In fact I am about to release a video on this topic soon which includes comparing two dash cams on an E36 BMW and comparing the clamp meter to the reading obtained using an inline multimeter DC Amp reader. I was impressed with how close this clamp meter matched the in series reading. Search for the video in about a week or two.

Does more than my Fluke but in a compact size. Non-backlit display is hard to see, unconventional shape makes it difficult to hold, and picking options/range requires one more button push than I’d like. Case is worthless so I use ziplock bag. Otherwise it is fantastic, accurate, and capable.

Purchased meter for DC amperage, and other features. The compact size makes my travel tool bag more efficient and smaller.

On the 2A DC clamp function / measurement, the 'noise' on the meter (digitizing) is moderate. When zeroing the meter is is best to be sure it is reading nearly zero before clamping on to measure DC current. Due to this noise, I'd rate this meter with 5mA resolution rather than the 1mA claimed. Overall, a really nice build quality and feel. Good value. Compared it to my Fluke 362 and it was right there with it on DC amps.

I compared the resistance measurements against standards with 1k 10k and 100k resistors and the meter was correct with +/- 1 digit. I also compared the voltage against a 5.000 V standard and it read 5.00V. I compared it against a 4.5 digit meter (that I had previously checked against 5.5 digit lab instruments) and it also was correct within +/- 1 digit. Even the clamp on current meter was better than 1% accuracy even down to 100 mA measurements (when properly zeroed). It is nice to get something that exceeds its specs. The display is easily readable in direct sun or indoors, or in total darkness if you active the back-light. The only thing I dislike about the meter is that it defaults to AC measurements so you always have to both rotate the dial and then push the blue select button once or twice to read DC volts or amps. It would be nice if it remembered the previous state when it powered up. I think there are hacks on the Internet to reprogram it to do that, but I don't think I will bother to get the equipment required to do that.I bought it as a small meter to carry in the car for troubleshooting, but I think I will keep it for my toolbox for more frequent use for electronics troubleshooting and put another old meter in the car.

Great meter. I purchased this to get better data on current draw of my mini-split air conditioner and other household appliances. I needed this to properly size an inverter generator purchase, which I wanted because we live in a hurricane/tropical storm area. This was my second go at a clamp meter. The first was much cheaper but gave me readings that fluctuated wildly from on measurement to the next (e.g., 0.5A vs. 13A), and other readings that I knew could not be right (10A for a 100W light bulb). I returned it right away. The UNI-T had none of these issues. Readings were consistent from one measurement to the next, and also consistent with known values (i.e., 100 & 60W light bulbs). I also liked the MIN/MAX feature. I had a little trouble with the inrush current measurement, but I think that was because the 12000 BTU min-split A/C has a very "soft start" feature that very gradually increased current draw to the maximum over 10-15 minutes (this is a very good feature for my generator!).You should be aware that this meter is fairly large. I did have a little trouble fitting the clamp through the 1x opening on my line splitter, but it did fit if you held it at just the right angle. That is about the only caution I can think of. I highly recommend this meter.

I purchased it primarily to measure DC current flowing in wires without having to disconnect the wires and insert an ammeter.The first one of these I purchased had an issue with failure to Zero the DC current setting so I returned it. The replacement unit resets properly on each of the 3 DC current ranges.I used it to troubleshoot some 12V power wiring to my replacement auto radio and also it can be used to measure current flow in the B+ circuits of vintage tube radios. Also works fine as a regular multimeter using the test leads for voltage, resistance and diodes. Have not checked it yet for measuring capacitors. Feature that I don't like so much is the need to click through menu options to set the instrument to measure AC or DC voltage, for example when making measurements with test leads. The display does clearly indicate how the instrument is configured for measurement. Conventional multimeters have dedicated function knob positions for AC or DC measurements.

I use this to measure DC amperage from a few mA to around 30A. It is replacing a less accurate older model from the same company. Comparing the readings to a Klein clamp-on meter which only goes down to 10mA and to a Fluke meter reading across a shunt I find that it's within a few mA, which is close enough for my work. It's more precise than the Klein and easier to get into tight places, and faster than measuring across shunts and doing the math. I would buy again and have recommended this product to co-workers.

Good

Muy buena herramienta hasta el momento está excelente para lo que ocupo

DC1000Vでも充分に使えるもので満足しています。
