New HVAC Clamp Meter

 Comtest, sole authorised distributor of Fluke Industrial and Electrical test tools and Fluke Precision Measurement in southern Africa, has announced the release of the Fluke 902 HVAC clamp meter specifically for use in heating, ventilation and air conditioning applications. This technician¹s service tool delivers the features necessary to diagnose and repair HVAC systems.

The Fluke 902 combines True RMS technology and a CAT III 600 V rating, guaranteeing accurate and safe measurement of flue gas temperatures; flame rod testing and start and run motor capacitors. Root Mean Square (RMS) or effective heating value of the AC current is difficult to measure. More and more personal computers, adjustable speed drives and other types of equipment that draw current in short pulses rather than at a steady level come on line everyday. Equipment like this can cause the reading of conventional average-responding meters to be inaccurate. Blown fuses with out any clear cause may be due to your meter.  A True RMS meter uses an electronic measurement technique to provide the real effective value of an AC current.

Features of the Fluke 902 HVAC clamp meter include:

  • Capacitance
  • DC current to 200 uA
  • Contact temperature (K-type thermocouple) € True-RMS € Min/Max € Hold
