The Fluke 325 spec sheet shows current range as 40A - 400A for both AC and DC. How do you switch the meter from 40A range to 400A range?

Stephen... I have used the meter a lot... The range will be selected automatically by the meter. You do not need to manually change the range, thanks to the induction reading. Fantastic tool.

Had to get out my Fluke meter to answer this question. I did not find on the unit or power supply any specs for Volts or Amps. The supplied instructions only states 3A. Testing with Meter I make it 1.80 volts at the power supply male connector. I did notice when unplugging the power cord from the hub my aux cooling fans slowed down considerably. Since the cooling fans slowed down when I unplugged the power supply and with the lower voltage reading I think they are splitting the needed 5 Volts between the computer and power supply. Generally 5 Volts is the rating for most cell phone charges, USB ports etc. Had to get out my Fluke meter to answer this question.

This is a 60hz unit for use in North America, the DC is for the output only has nothing to do with the input voltage.I don't believe that there is a frequency converter available for use in Countries that are 50 cycle, for this you should contact the mfg.

It needs a special transformer that outputs 32 to 36 volt dc 3amps = 100wts i dont know any other way. I just follow mfr spec instructions hope this help . You may also need a heat sink and a cpu fan attached to the heat sink so it wont over heat and burn out.

Fluke actually goes out of their way not to explain how to change the batteries. I'm guessing to get customers to purchase another meter versus changing the batteries. I sent them complaint email about this and encourage others to do the same.

No, it will only pick up as low as 110 v. AC. Get the fluke t-5 1000 meter for low volt DC and AC current.

Oh my meter is a Fluke 375. But the Fluke 375 and 376 are brothers. Absolutely! That is one of the nice advantages of this meter. The inrush current feature works on the DC ammeter also. I was measuring 12 volt inrush DC engine starting current of our home standby generator with it in addition to measuring inrush AC starting current of compressors.

You could do it with a simple relay- but you have to check if this one is compatible with AC current, unless you want to use a DC circuit. Here's link diagrams to both http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fuBrp5aqZDo/TTQ7KZeAXMI/AAAAAAAAAlU/G3XX2o_e77U/s1600/relay_wiring.jpg http://inspectapedia.com/heat/L4064B_Line_Voltage2.gif

It is AC only for current, and only up to 100 amps like it says in the specs. Wire that is big enough to handle 240 amps won't fit in the jaws anyway. I have carried this meter for 14 years as an electrician, and it does 99 percent of what you would need. Very fast read, too, which is nice.I also have this one that does do DC current:http://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-2236-20-Clamp-Meter-Refridgeration/dp/B002EL4LAI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1429118708&sr=8-1&keywords;=2236-20NST.

with me with a input of 120 it would change from 110 to 120 and then back to 110 ,I needed a study out put of 110 for vacuum tbe HIF equipment, that is why it was returned. I now use a variac.

*** AC and DC current ranges (clamp): 40A, 400A ****** AC and DC current ranges (leads): 400µA, 2000µA ***

I used one for a crystal radio, and in my design report I recorded an LCR meter gave mine a range from 80pf-365pf. Also FYI, Make sure you get a knob! Touching it directly can affect the circuit's Inductance or Capacitance (don't remember which one), which makes fine tuning very frustrating!

High Vas, I believe that you can order which one you want but either way you can convert the readings. For example if you buy a 60 hz instrument you can simply convert the reading to the a 50hz equivalent and if you buy a 50hz instrument you can simply convert the reading to the a 60hz equivalent The conversion factor is given in the instrument hand book or on their web site. I purchased a 60hz instrument while in the USA but use it in Australia which is 50hz. I don't bother with conversions I am simply interested whether I am being subjected to an Electromagnetic field. Be very wary of underground power systems as the threat is not always as obvious as transmission towers overhead. Good Luck

Hi, I checked my unit, 110, did not see a switch to change that anywhere. So if you are running 240 you will need an adapter.

the spec says 3%. But on my unit i just received I just made the following measurements using multiple professional HP and Fluke high accuracy instruments (I'm an electrical engineer). TS-836A said 122.3V, instruments said 122.5V; TS386A said 769mA, instruments said 725 mA -that's a 5% error. Predictably the Watts was off 5% too as it is just a calculation. I'm about to leave a comparison against the Kill-a-watt in the reviews
