    I was a little bewildered at 1:10 when the fork was reading 41.8 amps until I realized later it was a 10X line splitter. Thanks for the video!

    I bought this meter a year and a half ago, ( may2019 ), and had trouble convincing my boss that it was an upgrade to the T-5 and worth the investment. I lost that job and didnt use the meter untill about a month and a half ago when i became employed again. Its easy to use, compact, and is fabulous for troubleshooting. at my new job, a non-contact voltage tester and my T-6 is all i use and i am very happy with it.

      Why did you have to convince your boss that it was worth the investment? If you want the little extra feature then buy it yourself, but if I had to buy it for someone else then no its not worth the investment when the t5 can read voltage, current, and resistance just as fine

    Hi Bill, this is a great review and I'm going to get myself a T6-1000 for the field sense and kilo ohms. A note on using test leads, I was taught to always connect the earth or neutral first and then the hot wire to get a reading. Respect to your channel, I'm subscribing.

  • @DixonMasterElectric
    @DixonMasterElectric 3 роки тому +2

    The only thig about field sense is that when you are troubleshooting it doesnt tell you there is a bad neutral if that was the case thats why i dont use hot sticks you may have voltage but there is no neutral.

    • @iceinyourveins-rn7em
      @iceinyourveins-rn7em 5 місяців тому +1

    I had one. Didn’t like the field sense. Barely worked. And times that it’s useful it’s hard to get it in tight spaces. Overall good meter though for basics and residential. I Like the probe holder. Also quality leads on it. But for commercial/industrial get something with a bigger amprobe and capacitance. Or get a second meter.

    Good morning, I would love to see the video you published not long ago about the fluke meter that had the FC feature and logging capability that you were demonstrating in your kitchen if it hasn't ended up lost in cyberspace... Maybe it was a 376 model? Love your videos!

    • @SparkyChannel
      @SparkyChannel  4 роки тому

      Good morning Scott! I have 2 Fluke FC meters, the 289 which is a larger bench style meter that is extremely accurate and the 902FC which is a HVAC clamp meter, very portable, and you can get graphs on your cell phone. Which one are you most interested in? I have all those videos on my hard drive. You might also remember by what kitchen appliance I was testing. I think my fav was the one where I was broiling a rib eye steak in a toaster oven and following the amp usage because it was delicious! LOL! Let me know and I'll get it back up.

      Sparky Channel one thing I’m interested in being able to do is measure DC current. In addition to the typical electrician functions that I normally use I play around with solar, also it would be nice to troubleshoot some of the LED tape lighting that I’ve been installing recently.
      Thanks!
