|    Inaccurate clamp meter?    |
|    11 May 19 14:33:40    |
      XPost: at.home.repair, uk.d-i-y       From: CFKinsey@military.org.jp              I got hold of a second hand one of these:       https://www.torontosurplus.com/rs-components-heme-100-clamp-mete       -611-414-clampmeter.html       A HEME 100 clamp meter.       I can't find specs for it online, only a HEME 1010.       I've tried reading a few currents with it (using a brand new battery in it),       and it seems to underread a fair bit on DC (0.56A instead of 0.62A) and AC       (7.5A instead of 8.5A). It's also susceptible to wires near it - for example       if you put the live        inside the clamp but the neutral is an inch or so from the outside of the       clamp, it reads a bit of that too and gives a higher reading. Are these       things supposed to be accurate? Can I adjust it?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
