This video got me thinking differently about the next multimeter to purchase. I was thinking a typical 2k-4k counts such as the HT113B but having a clamp type would be very useful and soooo much easier to check current on small solar panels and controllers. They cost more but hey, its only money. That 208D you reviewed is now ~$100. Will need to look for an older model...

The 206D inexplicably lacks the range hold option, which makes min max readings less useful, and the 208D test leads are much nicer quality. 206D advantages are the smaller size and price. Also visibility in bright sunlight is actually better.

My D version is unable to lock on any values and changes permanently by 15-20% no matter how constant is the measured parameter. The NCV is ridiculous and beeps all over the place like crazy. Temp is off by 4 °C, at least that's one consistent error 😄. Built quality is the nicest feature, comparable or better than UNI-T but most internal components are low spec low quality and factory calibration is sloppy as expected at that kind of price.

Thanks - that's a great question! When current is read thru a non-contact type method such as a clamp meter - I feel much safer! Also, there is no chance in connecting to a voltage with the probes in the current inputs, so no short with high voltage. So, the transient voltage or high voltage that can cause arcs when disconnecting leads is very much reduced too. So, I think this meter is safer for those reasons. What type of voltages and currents are you working with? What's the upstream breaker panel like?

Eddie, you refer to the cables as Cat IV at around 8:00 minutes. Is there anything about these meters that is genuinely Cat IV? Almost immediately you discover that the probe tip covers won't stay on. At this point, I think you should be asking yourself, is it wise to continue with these products that can be used to probe live voltages? Later on, you have probes connected and a cable through the clamp at the same time? Towards the end, you refer to the flexibility of the cables e.g. "might be" silicone. Since the cables are not used to measure current, they could simply be made with very thin wire and be flexible, so a cable "teardown" might reveal everything? My Kaiweets AC/DC clamping meter will "sometimes" measure 10A (high) AC but won't ever measure 0.5A (low) AC current when clamping the L wire. It's not completely broken because it always measures DC current 10A (high) or 0.5A (low). AC/DC clamp meters are more expensive than AC clamp ones and should be as good for AC and paying more to get less is a disappointment. Any "mains/live" meter that "sometimes" works might prove to be a costly mistake too. Conventional Kaiweets (uA ranging) multimeters are however pretty good. Simon
@KissAnalog
@KissAnalog 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Simon for the feedback and great points that you bring up;) Yes, although there are many meters rated for CAT IV and have these tip covers for this rating - I would not use them for CAT IV. First, not many work in CAT IV areas, but the ones that do use higher end multimeters with 3rd party certifications. The new Fluke tips that come with most of their meters (T72 leads) are very flimsy and just pop off - or IMHO;) The great thing about the clamp on meters is they are inherently safe, you can forget where you have your leads when measuring current, and leave the wire running through the jaws, then take a voltage measurement. The wire running through the jaws is insulated and the jaws are insulated, and other than possibly inducing a little noise in the meter, it is not going to be shorted when measuring voltage as it would be with a conventional meter. I will do another Kaiweets review where we compare their current clamps (I think I have 5 of them), and I'll show where even a lower cost model might be the more preferred model for a particular use, or user;) Also, be aware to judge if a wire is live by measuring current. A wire can be live but no load on it, so measuring current will not be the method to judge if it is live. You bring up some excellent points - so thank you and I'll keep them in mind in the next review. Thanks again!

@@KissAnalog I'd agree with this, it gives up very little to the Flukes, and has advantages over them. My only real gripe is the min max mode, which isn't able to show the ongoing readings when you use that function. I can forgive it because it just does everything else do well. I checked mine against a lab standard for DC voltage accuracy, and it was off by 0.006%. I measured by adjusting the calibrator until the display just rolled over to the test target, and recorded the actual voltage at that point, which is the only way to truly test it's accuracy. Otherwise it could be off by as much as 1 count. I was suitably impressed. Don't know if it's just a fluke 😉 that mine is that well calibrated though.. someone else will have to confirm if theirs performs similarly, if they have access to calibration equipment.

Do these meters measure DC millivolts? Do they measure DC microamps?
@KissAnalog
@KissAnalog 2 жыл бұрын
Great question Dave, they do have a millivolt range (600mV for the 6k count and 400mV for the 4k count), but the lowest amp scale is 4A on the HT206 series. If you use this link it supports the channel for no extra cost and you should get a discount. kaiweets.com?sca_ref=1269738.glN6S8aePH

@@daveyakutchik3493 if you really need to measure very small currents and only have this meter on hand, just get a low value resistor of known specification, and wire it in series with your circuit. Then make a measurement across the resistor with your meter in millivolt mode. A simple calculation will give you your current. You could measure down to microamps if you really needed to, with the right resistor selection to use as a current sense. If you want a clamp meter for currents in the microamp range, you're not likely to find one, though you can get current clamps with lower ranges that can be used along with a scope or DMM that will do that. Looping the current wire 20 times for 20x higher sensitivity can help to get better resolution also.

Why isn't it measuring the frequency? It shows 0. 17:46

Thanks great question! I think the current has to be 1 Amp or higher to do that. Or in the voltage or Hz mode it reads it easily with the leads.

If using it in broad daylight, the 206D reflective type display is actually more readable. Need to shield the 208D with your hands to see it in those conditions.
