I like the features on the Amprobe, the reliability of the FLUKE , and the Peakmeter I’ll use if that’s the only tester left to use. Great timeless video(s) TP.👍🏿🤙
I would go with that TETC. I think if you are on a tighter budget =, then the Amprobe seems a reasonable alternative to the Fluke. These are pretty niche instruments with fairly limited capabilities so hard to justify top of the range for some.
@@three-phase562 Thanks for acknowledging^^ Amprobe also says it can go to 700V Phase to Phase, Fluke says 400V on the 9062. Though now on the newer 9040 they have 700V aswell and CAT 4 300V. But damn, for 300-400 Dollars I personally prefer the Beha. Less than half the price, and seemingly better specs. Fluke might be relying to much on their name on this one.
I think the display on the drive was representing the frequency of your output. I know most flukes aren’t certified below a certain frequency. That may be the reason for your funky results on the lower speed settings.
That is a good point. I looked up the specs. Fluke and Peakmeter operate between 2 to 400Hz, although voltage needs to be between 120 to 400V AC, so that may be a factor. Improve unit is 16 to 400Hz and 40 to 700V AC. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
pretty sure you are testing rotation correctly...motor should be isolated, hook leads to motor, face the shaft, spin shaft while holding test. rotation should match direction you are spinning. pretty basic possibly poor instruction.
Thanks for the video! Just received the Amprobe unit and I'm feeling confident that it will perform well in the field after watching your video.
Appreciate you watching and commenting. Glad the video was of use, I am sure the Improve will give you years of good service.
What is your take after a few yrs?
@@michaelhinchey its held up great. Has come in handy many times.

One more thing, the Fluke is only CAT 3 300V. The Amprobe is CAT 4 600V.
Yes, that is a very good point, thanks for commenting.

@@stalkinghawk9244 Just got round to looking at this, thanks for the information, I wasn't aware of the 9040. As you say quite pricey for what it is.

They say greenlee is the best phase rotation indicator
Thanks for letting me know
