## Description

Digital Clamp Meter

Review: I was looking for a honest and reliable clamp meter. After watching many detailed reviews I have decided to buy this one. Very good quality, measurements are within spec range, not exactly a fan of AAA batteries but they seem to last a while. Screen looks very nice, unfortunately can be hard to read outdoors in sunny conditions. I'm very satisfied with my new toy 🙂
Review: This Kaiweets HT208D clamp meter is extremely SOLID. And extremely good value. The dial works well. The display is fantastic. The meter has very good features for AC and DC and it wasn't too bad to learn how to use it for a non-electrician. While the In Rush function is supposed to be for AC current only, I've seen YouTube reviewers say it also works for DC current, though this is not in the user manual. A Tip: To best use the InRush function, also buy an AC Line Splitter to use for measuring appliance/motor InRush current, as otherwise, you would need to split the cable to be measured, as the clamp is supposed to ONLY go around 1 wire, the hot wire and not 2 or 3 wires as in Hot, Neutral and Ground together. Kaiweets does not seem to sell an AC line splitter, which IMO they should. Klein has a nice small one but it has no price on the desertcart.ca site. The dual position line splitters can be unwieldy to use in some outlets, as it falls out due to being long and then having the appliance plugged in to the far end, while the Klein line splitter is smaller, grounded and is less prone to fall out of the outlet. Using a line splitter means you still only measure the hot wire and so you do not have to cut into and damage your cable to get at the single hot line/wire. Measuring AC and DC current with the clamp is a breeze and voltages with the beefy but soft and pliable and very good silicone wire and probes makes it a great multi use meter and especially so for solar and off grid use. The clamp easily fits around 4/0 cable and accurately measured DC Current, as well as AC Current. Measuring appliance or motor AC InRush is a HUGE help as not all off grid inverters, especially low cost High Frequency inverters that don't use big heavy transformers, can handle high inrush currents and the inverter sellers and some manufacturers don't tell you this and over hype their inferior products. This meter will tell you what the appliance / motor inrush current is so you can ask the inverter manufacturer if the info is not in the specs. The 2 cons for some may be that the display is apparently difficult to read in bright light outdoors and the flashlight is blocked by the clamps so isn't all that useful. Oh and it has a useful NCV function via the clamp sensor that works well though and reports on the display, by sound and by a Red or Green LED. As well, there are 2 pots inside that can be used to calibrate voltage readings to fine to meter. It also displays an ambient temperature reading in the display in some modes, as well as coming with 2 temperature probes. As well, it has a very good warranty. While I had a decent Klein multimeter already, I waited a long time for this Kaiweets to go on a the best sale price I'd seen and then decided to get it for the AC InRush function and the DC Clamp function for my off grid solar needs. Not sure how much I'll use the Klein now, although Klein I have, is not a clamp meter and has fewer functions but is much smaller than the Kaiweets HT208D. The Kaiweet HT208D goes on sale occasionally and when it does, don't sit on the fence, as that makes it an even better value. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

## Features

- 【Inrush Current Indicator】Knowing the value of the inrush current can help you quickly locate a starting problem, whether in the motor or in the starter circuit. The inrush current measurement time is about 100ms.
- 【Professional Clamp Meter】 This clamp meter can accurately measure AC/DC current of 1000A, AC/DC voltage of 1000V, frequency, duty cycle, resistance, capacitance, diode, continuity and temperature. Easy to use for laboratory factories and households.
- 【Advanced Functions】 The clamp meter has variable frequency drive (VFD) and low input impedance (LoZ) filtering modes, which can provide more accurate readings.
- 【NCV Detection & Flashlight】 Built-in non-contact voltage detector (NCV) can easily and quickly determine whether there is a voltage. A handy LED flashlight illuminates a dimly lit area.
- 【Service】Double insulation. KAIWEETS provides 36 months service and lifetime technical support. Please feel free to contact us if you have any concerns.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Backlight ?  unless i am doing something wrong, there is no display backlight ! can barely see outside in shade.  why not ?**
A: I agree completely.  If vendors want to use reverse displays, then there needs to be a way to invert it back to normal.  This otherwise great meter is nearly USELESS outdoors...  Take a 5 star meter to 2.5 stars since it only works in 1/2 the places I would need it.  Very disappointing...

**Q: Where can i find a manual for the ht208d online?  i only see for the 206.**
A: My meter cam with instructions.

**Q: Will this thing really measure up to 1000 DC amps with the clamps? I need it for automotive use.**
A: Yes it will I have one of these, but it has a + - on it , These meters will do as good as any meter Ive used this day and time, but the best Amprobes for high amperage AC and DC is the old analog clamp on type amprobs I have a set of them I have used for many years, I use this one cause it has a viriety of options on it Ohms volts amps ect, the Amprobes just do amps,,I keep this meter in my shack as my go to meter,,

**Q: What are the the minimum voltage and amperage resolutions in mV and mA ?**
A: This multimeter can accurately measure 1000 Amp AC/DC Current
