is this a true RMS ammeter?

No, not as far as I know, it takes 2 samples per second, an average. there are other clamp on brands. You only need True RMS if you are measuring waveforms that are not a pure sine wave. If you are doing parasitic draws, amperage draw tests, or checking alternator output, this is excellent. I hope this helps.

The only way to find out for sure would be to "smoke" test it, if your smoke detector beeps, you (had) a problem.I'm sure it would become a fuse rather than an ammeter well below 30A.It is a good idea to use a fast-acting fuse of the same (or slightly higher) value as your ammeter in series with the shunt resistor.

Yes, the meter reads from 0 to 150 watts. My rig is just like yours in output and this meter works fine.

I checked mine with a multimeter and got a 3.6, which is a typical reading for a 4 ohm load. So yes, it really is a 4 ohm cab.

Most everything I use the meter for is DC components. If you're seeing activity behind the decimal point, these readings may be negligible in higher current readings and the percentage of error would be low. In lower amperage circuitry I use an inline ammeter to increase the accuracy. As an added note, my Fluke meter does the same. It zeros when the button is pushed and then begins to exhibit low readings behind the decimal point when released.Hope this helps.BG

The info listed doesn't say if it will work properly on 50Hz. The best would be to use a true RMS meter, or do some more research on Flukes's website.

Yes. I just tried moving the meter back and forth across some reflective tape about 3" away and it gave me readings in the 40 to 60 rpm range which was about right.

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.

As far as I know you don't. I have two other oxymeters and have taken overnight tests with professional grade recorders and my meter reads accurate out of the box when cross-referenced with the other meters. It is important, at least for me, to remember I can vary up to 5 points depending on what finger I use with any meter. Anyway, my meter came accurate and didn't need calibrating so I never looked in to it.

Yes 6.000, 60.00, & 600.0 VAC Ranges are True RMS with 1% Accuracy from 45 to 500 Hz and 2% Accuracy 500Hz to 1KHz

It's just a capacitor farad measurement tool. I don't think your results will be very accurate in-circuit.

To be honest this meter never works right. It always gives me crazy readings. I've never bee able to trust it. I would return it if I could. WWW.hiselconstruction.com

Well in a relative sense, the answer is yes. The reason I say that is you have to calibrate it yourself. If you immerse the meter tip into something that you know is 100% saturated, you have the ability to set the meter reading to the maximum, which is 10. Therefore, all other readings should become accurate. This is explained in the instructions that come with the meter.

Not exactly sure what you're asking. If an amp is tested for true wattage, 197 @ 198 is an inaccurate number to begin with. To get an RMS reading, you take the actual wattage and divide that by 2 and you'll get your RMS. If I were to guess why your particular amp (or the amp shown on the video) went into protection mode, either the ground was bad, the internal processor was bad, it was a poorly constructed amp or the "certified car audio specialist" only plugs top of the line amps on his channel. It's also impossible to fully answer your question without seeing the video myself

I don't think any clamp-on inductive style ammeter is going to be that accurate. Even the really top end ones are probably +-0.2 amps or so. You need the type that has actual wire connections.

it can but its not accurate for a 120v supply it reads 49 v non contact and 60 v contact. u need to use the negative lead to get the true rms value.

I own a Fluke 112 True RMS Multimeter that can measure capacitance. I compared measurements on my Fluke and the Honeytek on ten different value/type capacitors. The Fluke gave reading that were consistent with value of the capacitors measured whereas the Honeytek gave erratic readings, some as much as 20% off the stated value. I gave the Honeytek away. If you do not care about accuracy or quality of your test instruments, buy the Honeytek.
