Who said it was accurate to 1 ma? The specs clearly state -DC current: 6A/60A/100A 0.001A/0.01A/0.1A ±(3.0%+5counts). 2nd you have to have the wire in the center of the meter jaws, not on the side like you have. Third you have to let the meter warm up a minute and understand its going to take a couple of seconds ( due to stated low sample rate) to get a good read. You have to zero the meter before every reading and the best way to do this is to place the meter jaw directly on the wire read and once its zeroed place it immediately inside the meter jaws otherwise whatever magnetic field around the wire will offset the zeroing and affect the reading. The wire placement is critical and it needs to be in between the two arrows on the meter jaw and at a 90 degree angle from the jaws.I bought this meter and made the same mistakes this reviewer made and was about to return it but I read the user comments and learned how to use the meter. So it took a little mindfulness when using but yes the meter pretty much preforms within the given specs . Would i use it for 4-20 mA...no but it wasnt made or intended for that purpose . I think if the jaws were the same size as the fluke you would have a much closer outcome between the two meters. If you are going to compare a $700 meter to a $50 meter , at least know how the meter is supposed to be used, and have a realistic expectation of what it is you are getting for your money. I kept mine and yes I use it in an industrial setting...If you dont zero it out properly every time no you wont be happy with it.
Something I'd like to add to your comment is; When measuring DC current (oxymoron), really should be on the ground coming from the power source. I find it interesting the fluke clamp is reading higher than the fluke probes. Anyone paying $50 isn't going to expect dead on and comparing to a $700 is far fetched. Now lets see a $200 version comparing that to a fluke. A fluke is expensive because they can, because when you need a certification paper, you are at their mercy!
I can maybe 1. carve some wood + sponge adapters to make the jaws guide the wire to the center of the jaws. 2. Wind the wire 10 times round the jaws so that the meter will be reading 10 times the mA and then I can divide the reading by 10 to get the actual mA reading.
A very good test proving that budget clamp multi meter as I was considering purchasing this. I already have a set of testers & thought the spec on the budget meter seems good & that I would have to bring different equipment for the different voltages & current that I would need to measure. Thanks again, you saved me £50.00 👍🏿
В приборе два положения переключателя для измерения тока. Для малых значений и более точных показаний используй нижний (этот режим возле красной кнопки) 😊 Пользуйтесь правильно!
Эти токовые клещи сильно подвержены влиянию магнитного поля Земли) Так что после обнуления их нельзя крутить, а то будет погрешность до 150мА) А так, за свои деньги - норм прибор.
Parabéns pelo vídeo, não compreendo sua língua, mas percebi que o aparelho não é tão precioso, mas serve para uso aproximado. Obrigado. Falo do Brasil.
Thanks for these comparisons. You and others are helping me weed out these inaccurate meters before I buy.
Glad to help and thanks for watching

Muy buen video ! Crees que el Bside ACM92 es de mayor precision ? Tiene la option de 6A , crees que esto es para mayor precision ?

Если сравнить во сколько раз fluke 771 дороже ACM91, то ACM91 за свои деньги удивительно точный аппарат :)
Да, если не нужна абсолютная точность для агрегата ACM91, но UNI-T UT210e на самом деле чуть лучше ACM91
@@IGATECK У него беднее функционал, даже после изменения прошивки. Я его отдал сыну.

4mA, а 771 показывает 4.2. Это ужасно неточно))
thank you for posting this video
Thank for nice information
Glad to help 👍
Bside acm91 can measure current accurately higher than 100 mA......

А так, за свои деньги - норм прибор.
And what does it show on the scale next to the off button?
😃
Thanks for the vid.
Thank you

Не может быть. Неужели правда, что fluke за $300 лучше, чем bside за $50. Но Вы меня убедили!
