- Welcome back! Today we’re going to be reviewing the differences between the fluke 376fc and 378fc. Giving a full tutorial on both and explaining the new features of the 378fc! Please ignore me brain fart in saying capacitor completely wrong I had a long day at work and didn’t realize 😂😂😂
Fluke should give you a new meter for doing such a good job advertising it! 😁 The video certainly peaked my curiosity about the meter! 😁 Thanks for the demo!
Thanks for the quick review. Just needed some confirmation before ordering mine at Amazon. Been waiting for more people to use it before purchasing. Appreciate it.
which one did you order? im skeptical on ordering one off amazon
Love Fluke gear. Have done design work for them. Good chaps.
I'm not a fan of big croc (alligator) clips. And being a Brit, I'd like to see a finger guard. But at least they're slim.
For a clampmeter, the 378 is a big boi! But I'm glad Fluke are still doing clear, solid and safe stuff.
🤩🤩🤩...................I have no clue why I'd need one of these but, Damnit!!! I'm going to buy three of them!!! Really dig her content, nothing like great videos with a person with an amazing work ethic!! Keep up the great work Lex!
This just popped up in my feed and I didn’t realize it was you until I started watching the video 😂
Just now going to be getting my hands of the 376 FC! I have my eyes on the 378 FC too. Killer review Lexi!
Love your dog just sneaking in the background for a quick shot
I love mine. Such a great meter.
This is the only 378 review ive seen that describes how the phase rotation test works with only two leads. Thank you!!
I JUST got the 376fc and if i knew about the 378 I would’ve got that - saves me carrying a rotation meter!
You are very knowledgeable and qualified very good content. Also has phase rotation with phone. Also like to know how much resistance there is.
Biggest tip I can give anyone using any meter, is to get silicone leads. One of the best accessories ever. No stiffness or tangling. Also the magnetic strap...come on best things to come along since well I don't know what, but its also a must have!
The alligators are great. I also use them with the 1587 on the push button lead, so nice.
Excellent presentation.
For the algorithm gods
Im not gonna lie you impressed me alot on your knowledge. Im looking at these meters rn. Im currently using the fieldpiece sc680 and my amp clamp has gone out again. My sc440 works fine but amp clamp is cracked (still working ) but im afraid of using it and making it worse. Still i wanna see a direct comparison of fieldpiece vs fluke
You're doing a great job and I got have the most upmost respect for you
Are you still using the 378? I just bought one and the AC voltage with the test leads is spot on; my receptacle reads 120v, but when I use the DC voltage test mode, a 9V battery reads at 10 volts, when two different Klein meters read it at 9 volts. Then I tested a 1.5 volt battery and it read at 1.9 volts. I’m sure it is going to be a great meter but would you agree that for the price, it should be as accurate, if not more accurate than a Klein meter in every function? Anyways, if you do randomly read this and have a battery laying around, lmk if you get accurate readings on disposable batteries!! Because maybe it’s just my unit, who knows.
Peaceeeeeee
I have 376 FC very good, very strong...that 378❤❤❤
Thanks for this info
Love the video,, question about the fluke TL 175 any issues of high internal resistance of the test leads? Mine is showing 1.1 ohm not good for me since most of the time I'm testing resistors.
Change the leads they should not ever be reading more than .1 ohms sometimes maybe up to .2 if you’re not getting a good connection.
Fieldpiece 😎 Flukes are top of the line but I like to stick to my HVAC/R roots. SC440. Good reliable meter that won’t break the bank if it goes tumbling down a ladder hatch or off a roof. Like some of my tools have in the past.
Thanks for another great video.
Love your videos! R u an master electrician ❓
Can you use field sense do you need the alligator clip or can you put the black lead on ground
Good work ❤️
Fluke make the best kit by far, they are pretty much Industry standard in the UK.
Also the pq indicator is only as accurate as the voltage sensing accuracy which field sensing does not have .
How about the fluke T6-1000 Pro?
I’m thinking about getting it.
Muy Importante!!!
Nord - Brazil.
for the fire pit.
-Ah!
👍👍
378FC confuses me when voltage read different on field sense vs. test leads 😅
hello, just a quick question, what happens to 377 or 378 If i use the FieldSense Clamp to measure Voltage of a wire without a ground lead connection ? will a voltage and current number still show up on the screen with some inaccuracy? or nothing will even be display, nothing wil work without the ground lead connection ?,,,, thankyou
It will likely not pop up at all or will tend to have an inaccurate reading. What I do is if I can’t find a ground just hold the black probe in your fingers or clip the alligator clip to them
Have an old school fluke and when I called to have it calibrated they gave me a three hundred dollar discount on a new one which was over a grand, now it's non USA?
Hot electrician...
💙💙💙from🇳🇱NL👍👍👍👍👍
Does that also come with the magnet so you don’t have to hold it when checking?
The 378 FC does
0L is actually OL and stands for OverLimit.
It’s actually open lead
@@Demo8pro765 no, it’s over the measurement’s maximum read, over it’s limit.
I'm another user who thought it was Over Limit, but from the Fluke 87 V manual I happen to have open, at page 12 there is 'OL - Overload condition is detected.' Over Limit and Overload have different meanings. I imagine Fluke have chosen to use the term Overload because it includes the notion that there is the possibility of the device being harmed from the way it's being used. This goes beyond the meaning of Over Limit, which simply advises that the device cannot resolve a measurement in the current configuration and application. Thanks for prompting me to look closer at this. 🙂
@@oal2928Typically most digital multimeters (Fluke and other makes) will display "OL" if the resistance exceeds the maximum the meter can measure on a given setting. For example, if I have an unknown resistor (with no markings or colour codes, etc), then I connect it to my multimeter set to 400Ω. If it reads OL then I switch it to 4kΩ, and if still OL then up to 40kΩ ... through 400kΩ, 4MΩ and finally 40MΩ if needed.
What is a magnetic clip?
Comment for the algorithm
I don’t like how the 378 fc field sense voltage sensor is so chaotic . The voltage readings jump +\- 20 volts which is insanely inaccurate. Not helpful for troubleshooting. And to make things worse you can use the clamp as just a clamp meter , you have to use the flex ring . And even worse the 378 doesn’t work on vfd outputs . But my 200 ideal clamp meter does
Classic electrician at home next to their couch just on their knees instead
What happened to your nails?
Lol capacitator
Yeah this was a lot to say in 10 min my bad 😂 capacitor
@@lextheelectrician lol You're good. Save that for the blooper reel. 😜
@@lextheelectrician I vote we keep 'capacitator.' I've used the term twice and didn't get any correction or sideways glances, but then that's probably because I'm an old guy and remember when they called it a condenser! Well, on a car anyway! Thanks for the vid Lexi, your the best! 😁
@@gregorylewis8471A friend in junior high school used to call them "capacitators" too. 😂
Send me a similar device
First thing I did when I got mine was check my Flux Capacitater 😂
Did the fluke show you you power factor quality of your flux capacitor?
@@chris1110 actually, yes it did. It showed a power factor of 1.21 GIGAWATTS!! 😂
@@timesfly1081Interesting reading, considering PF falls within the range of 0 to 1 inclusive. 😂
non elec to elec's))))
if an electrician can afford all those tattoos, they are charging too much.
Given that there are countless people with even MORE ink on them with jobs paying far less, your comment is adjudged ... bitter with jealousy.
I think I may have lost a few brain cells reading this idiotic comment 😂
Tattoos aren’t expensive lol
I know what I'd like to MEGGER 😂😂😂
I'm just here for her freckles. Cutest girl on youtube
