I'm in solar will it give good reading on AC and DC readings up to 240 amp

I don't know. I use this for domestic applications only. I bought it because none of my old meters were Catagory 3.

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.

100 amps is the most I've ever tested with this device but that is accurate enough for our line of work. If you want a device that is extremely accurate this may not be the tester for you.. It seems to be more geared to general testing..

hi this meter does measure dcamps it got me out of strife on a truckit doesn't say in the instructions it measures dc amps but itm does try it use the jaws it works but the dc amps simble doesn't show when doing this test but it works

AC current only. Also, it's only an averaging meter. You need a true RMS meter with a clamp capable of measuring DC.

Working in Solar the only legal meter will be a Cat IV meter with a minimum rating of 600 volts. OSHA does not allow CAT III or below rated meters to be used outdoors, even on a beautiful day.

If your incoming feed is wired correctly, one clamp goes around black, the other around red. You can confirm with an AC voltmeter. Between black and red you should read 220-240V.

It will depend on the electricity in South Africa . If it is also 110, then you should be fine.

Mine is working on 110v, but not sure if it will handle 240, as I am not at my house to check.

Depends on your requirements. It will certainly provide 12VDC. As to whether it has the current capacity to meet your needs will take a little math.

Our unit puts out 120 Volt and 240 volt AC current. It does not put out DC at all!

If the power supply converts the AC waveform to a DC one yes. The light is ideal for using with a solar or wind power supply.There is no need to change the DC power from a solar panel to AC, just hook it directly to any 12v battery and enjoy a very bright light that uses very little power.

I have six 100 watt Renogy panels wired for 24 volts. The meter that came with this controller reads almost 40 volts. It varies from 30-40 volts depending on battery state of charge (I am using six deep cycle batteries...12v). It works great. Additionally, I have pulled 34 amps down from the high sun which equates to around 815 watts. My unit has NEVER shut itself off. When the batteries are fully charged it will still provide power to your accessories. I am using an DC-AC inverter...so, it really doesn't matter.

If it's only one strip, it will draw about 2amps so this meter will not read that accurately. Get one that has a built in shunt that will measure 5 or 10 amps and won't require the complexity of adding a shunt.

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.

I use it on Forklifts what has a lot higher amp load, but the readings are very consistent reading to reading. Not much help, but it is all I got....

The one I have is rated for 120 volts and works well for me (standard USA AC current).

I did not try this into Amperes yetBut I am SURE this multi meter will measure even a .001 ac or dc Volt

I'm glen I am getting 3.5 amps and .55 volts depending on sun intensity per cell
1646858
yes , it is very easy to read all the voltages, any not with in specs the reading will be in red . I do have the old style tester and bought this one and have been using it ever since. I am keeping my old tester as a back up in case it fails.

It gives a running digital reading of amperage AC current, not DC. It has no capture capability for highest amperage event, your eyeballs have to do that. It does give quick readings however on a continuous basis if amps are selected, or watts, or volts or cycles per second or kwh.

the amperage would be to great for a converter. Ac our of Dc is a difficult issue. Buy one with a battery
