I need to measure about 12A to 25A DC for one task on top of normal use. If this won't do that what meter can?

The Klein CL2000 is fine for 12A to 25A DC. I've used it at both lower and higher direct current levels than those.

I do not know of any meter that does that. To read DC Amps, you have to remove a lead wire from it's termination point and attach one of the leads from the meter to the wire end. Then you attach the other meter wire to the now vacant termination point. In short, the meter acts as a part of your power wire.

Less than my clamp-on ammeter would respond to. I'd have to disassemble the circuit and put a series meter in the circuit to find it for certain. If you call the manufacturer they probably could tell you. They do have a web site. Just a guess but I would think it wouldn't be more than about 20 mA at 120VAC.

I found the voltage approximate with 0.25 to 0.5V. Generally the measured voltage would depend on the load. A high current load will likely drop the measured voltage.

My advice is ring Fluke, if not, carry out your own question & see what happens, do what you're asking & the meter might likely go to some setting & never work again. My advice, don't play with things you know nothing about. CG

I am assuming you want to use this on 24 volts DC.But what ever system, it will work in 24 volts systems, The DC range is from 0 to 200 voltsThe AC voltage range is also 0 to 200 voltsJust make sure you have the selector switch on the correct units and function that you are measuring.

Yes. I have used it to measure DC voltage to the tenth of a volt many times.

Hi Joseph, what I found is that the 200A meter needs a few Amps before it starts registering, this is due to the high current range... This is assuming you have wired up correctly...

I have no idea and I'm not going to try.In general the meter seems pretty robust at measuring large, variable loads in the direction it was designed to measure. My application was an electric bike with a typical voltage above 50vDC and loads all the way up to 1.5kw.

The range for measuring current for this device is 0A to 100A. They spec the ability to measure 50A continuous. The manual is also available online by searching "Watts Up user manual"

the meter will measure only a point in time and at that measurement everything may be fine. Problem is an hour later the voltage may have degraded due to all the other campers loading down the system. You could leave the meter connected continuously but then you would have to be looking at it all the time for a voltage drop - some so fast you may miss. You could purchase a line voltage monitor with an adjustable trip point / alarm. So if the normal voltage is 120 volts and your alarm trip point is say 110 then you would get an auidable alarm so you could shut down any devices that could be damaged by low voltage. This type of monitor would be a better investment than the meter since it monitors the line voltage 24X7. Something like this would be a better idea in my opinion - Technology Research AECM20020 Digital Monitor - I did a quick amazon search on Line voltage Monitor Alarm

it does not measure 4-20 mA. I recommend use another meter available to measure mA

Accurate? Probably not. It's manual states that its DC current accuracy is 3% +- 2 digits. But unless you get it calibrated you can't be sure of that.What kind of accuracy do you need? If you're considering this meter, it's probably good enough.

Not being 'smart' but best to call an electrician to be sure. I had a whole house power meter which strapped onto the outdoor meter. It would give a good indication of what my average wattage was under a variety of conditions - A/C active (3kW), blower for furnace (500W), electric dryer (4.5kW), ... but what it didn't measure was the surge current like when a motor starts (which is typically 2x of the standing wattage). Exactly what your surge current requirements are depends on what devices you have installed, and when they will startup. If you can stagger when devices start up you can reduce the surge current requirement. You can also manually throttle up the generator as there is a lag between when a motor starts and the motor spinning up to match load (which results in voltage droop). And lastly you have to figure out how to wire it into your house ... maybe you only want a few circuits light up instead of the whole house (like your 500W plasma TV for example).

I don't use this meter for ac work. I checked the meter and the info I got with the meter ( which is not much). But it will not do what you want . sorry not much help. Bill
