Fluke, locally represented by Comtest, has on offer the Fluke 376 FC True-RMS Clamp Meter with iFlex, the most advanced troubleshooting tool for industrial and commercial electricians. The 376FC is part of the Fluke Connect family of wireless test tools that enables you to log, trend and monitor measurements while remaining safely away from the arc flash zone through Bluetooth connectivity.
The 376 FC clamp meter uses an integrated low-pass filter to measure non-linear signals accurately, such as adjustable speed drives, electronic ballasts and other non-linear loads. The clamp also uses proprietary inrush measurement technology to filter out noise, and captures the motor starting current exactly as the circuit protection sees it.
The 376 FC clamp meter measures voltage up to 1000 V AC or DC, and resistance up to 60 kΩ with continuity detection. It features min, max, average and inrush recording to automatically capture variations, along with a 500 mV DC measurement range for interfacing with other accessories. With a 1000 μF capacitance measurement capability, it ensures reliable performance while allowing you to work safely and conveniently. Designed for maximum protection, the 376 FC clamp carries a CAT III 1000 V, CAT IV 600 V safety rating.
The included iFlex flexible current probe, available in 45 or 90 cm options, provides easier access to large conductors in tight spaces. This flexible probe expands the measurement range to 2500 A AC and enables frequency measurement up to 500 Hz with body jaw and iFlex.
