Versatile and rugged tools for applications with high currents
Confidently take reliable readings with the True-rms, Fluke 355 and 353 digital clamp meters; the tools of choice for high current clamp-on amp meter measurement up to 2000 A. The extra-wide jaw easily clamps around large conductors, typically found in high-current applications. The extra rugged design and CAT IV 600 V, CAT III 1000 V ratings add an extra element of user protection when taking high-powered measurements.
Accurate peak measurements can be taken using the in-rush current mode, ideal for motors and inductive loads. The 355 also measures voltage and resistance, making this an ideal clamp meter for utilities, electrical contractors and industrial service technicians.
