large cable readings

I have an amp meter, fluke 33 and like to know is there an attachment to use with the 33 to take readings on large cables?

Do you mean one of the 330 Series? Don't think so!

Re: large cable readings

nope!!
However if it is a size trouble then you could get a DDM with a probe on it. Or if its both a size and ampacity then try these ones 354/355

Re: large cable readings

get yourself a flex clamp they go up to 3000 amps best thing for buzzbars and large cables...they can connect to a standard dmm.

Re: large cable readings

I am with Murdock, as long as we are talking AC. I have the same problem with DC cables, but sadly a flex clamp is not an option.
