/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Now I think I get it. Little fan runs at like 0.3A but inrush caught it at closer to 0.7A on startup.

Now I have to learn what LPF and LoZ are for.

Happy with this guy so far. I almost got the little $50 Uni-T with the sideways screen that everybody likes because people said it’s really good for a clamp at lower DCA readings. I paid $80 for a Southwire from Lowe’s to get a DC clamp meter and that thing bounces a lot so it’s hard to get good readings below like 5A, and it maxes out at 400A. Always need to zero it and it still bounces around. This big Uni-T seems way more stable with DCA. Pic related without hitting the zero button, and the Uni-T sits at that value while the Southwire ranges from like 0.18A up to 0.25A sitting here on the bench.

Those Southwire meters were rebranded something, saw the same thing on Amazon as Reed and Amazon Commercial and none of them are really cheap either.
