Again the changing work environment leads me obtain yet another amp clamp meter. Although I am quite fond of my Fluke 337, it and many other meters do not lend themselves to measuring fractional HP motors well. My new digs has hundreds of fractional HP motors. I would not have believed a 1/25HP 3Ph 480 VAC motor existed, and you might have a hard time believing the size... The motor junction box is as large as the motor. But I digress...

I am looking to obtain the AEMC INSTRUMENTS CM 605, 100A amp clamp stile meter, which will cover both AC as well as DC currents at 1mA resolution. If anyone owns one or knows of a better model please provide feedback.

My only reservation is that this meter isn't listed as true RMS. Do you think measuring RMS matters at such small currents because the deviation is so small?
 
AEMC is my favorite brand of most types of test equipment. Just as good as fluke used to be. I dont have that paticuliar meter but AEMC is great stuff.
 
My only complaint s that my AEMC 675 clamp on doesn't have an auto shut-off like my Fluke did (and apparently the newer AEMCs as well). I am dense when it comes to that for some reason, so I am often finding my meter battery dead when I open the case. Mine is TRMS, but it can't read 4-20mA with the clamp on as the one you are looking at. For instrumentation work, that would be useful.
 
Thanks all...

Thanks all...

For 4-20mA stuff I have a Fluke 771, but wished I waited for the new 773 it sources as well as measures voltage...
