The metering should be repeatable and some error is acceptable. The 10A
error is kind of not useful unless it is related to the amount of actual
current and nominal voltage of the system. The error may not be a big deal
on a 12V but a 48V nominal may be an issue.
A good cheap and dirty replacement
Some years ago I was talking to Outback Tech support and mentioned
major discrepancies in voltage readings from a Mate. The support lady
laughed and said that the meters on the Outback weren't accurate.

When or have you ever had it recalibrated esp. if it has a few miles on it?
I was getting floating readings & I sent my 25 year old fluke in a few years
ago & definitely saw more accurate readings and the floaties went away.

Hi Dan
You can use the shunt MV reading via say fluke 87 to double check the amps that
your clamp on is reading.

I was on the phone to Fluke, preparing to send in
my old meter and get an updated model for another
$300, $100 off the retail price. I got suspicious
of the leads while on the phone, and cancelled
the RMA. Replacing the leads with another pair
solved the problem. Continuity testing the old
leads s
AS a matter of course we always replace leads in our meters once a year and
send them in for calibration ~ every 3-4 years. Fluke is VERY good at there
service and I would suggest that perhaps the cost is 1/2 as much as a new one.
We will send the old ones in and replace it w/ a new one. Sometim
Ya know whati'll echo Ron's comment. Check the leads. I was also
questioning an intermittent working Fluke...switched out the leads with one
that was working fine and found that one of the leads was the problem.
FWIW, I found the loose connection was where the wire went into the moulded

Hi Drake, you might want to check the leads. I had an intermittently working
Fluke where the leads looked perfectly good but they were the problem.

HI Drake;
My old Fluke clamp on died last year, and some good Wrench here turned
me on to the Seaward solar power clamp. It does everything the Fluke
did, and offers some amazing power analysis too. It can do real time
power readings that even account for power factor. It can break out THD
Hi Drake,
You might look at the fluke connect series. Pretty interesting what they can
do.

Hey Drake,
I’ve been using a 334 for many years. I recently looked at the 381 because of
the wireless removable display. There have been many situations where the wire
I’m clamped onto puts the display in a position that I can’t easily read it.
Having a wireless display would be SO handy. Readi
