Fluke 353 True RMS Clamp Meter
The Fluke 353 is a clamp meter for measuring current, allowing measurements without interrupting the conductor. This is particularly relevant when working with high currents and when quick access to a conductor or a group of conductors is desired. The large jaw makes it easier to fit the instrument around thick cables and wires, which are often encountered in switchboards, motor systems, and other heavy-current installations.
This model measures both AC and DC current. It is designed for tasks where it is necessary to monitor load, inrush current, and other current conditions on high-draw systems. The True RMS function means that the measurement is better suited for real industrial loads, where the current is not always perfectly clean and uniform.
The instrument also boasts the safety categories expected in professional electrical work, namely 600 V CAT IV and 1000 V CAT III. This makes it relevant when working close to installations where both measurement range and personal safety are critical. At the same time, it is clearly aimed at large currents, so it is not suitable for general small-signal or electronics measurement.
Fluke has since discontinued this model, so it is primarily of interest if you already use this type of instrument and need to know its precise function or find an equivalent solution.
