Description

Fluke 355 2000A AC/DC True RMS Clamp Meter with Data Logging Capability

The Fluke 355 2000A AC/DC True RMS Clamp Meter is a premium industrial clamp meter engineered for professionals who require accurate high-current measurements, advanced diagnostics, and long-term data recording. Designed for industrial maintenance engineers, utility technicians, electrical contractors, renewable energy specialists, power distribution engineers, manufacturing professionals, mining operators, facility managers, and field service technicians, the Fluke 355 combines 2000A AC/DC current measurement, True RMS accuracy, integrated data logging capability, and rugged industrial construction to simplify complex electrical maintenance tasks.

Modern industrial facilities operate with increasingly sophisticated electrical systems that include large motors, variable frequency drives (VFDs), transformers, switchgear, generators, battery energy storage systems (BESS), renewable energy installations, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and automated production equipment. Monitoring these systems requires more than instantaneous electrical measurements—it requires the ability to record, analyze, and compare electrical data over time. The Fluke 355 addresses this need by integrating powerful measurement capabilities with onboard data logging, enabling technicians to capture long-term electrical performance for predictive maintenance and troubleshooting.

One of the primary strengths of the Fluke 355 is its ability to measure AC and DC current up to 2000 Amps using a large non-contact clamp jaw. High-current measurement without disconnecting energized conductors enhances technician safety, minimizes downtime, and improves maintenance efficiency. The oversized jaw easily accommodates large industrial conductors, busbars, battery cables, transformer connections, and power distribution wiring commonly found in heavy industrial environments.

The Fluke 355 incorporates True RMS measurement technology, ensuring highly accurate readings on both sinusoidal and distorted electrical waveforms. Industrial systems utilizing VFDs, inverters, UPS systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), switch-mode power supplies, and electronic motor controls often generate harmonic distortion that conventional averaging meters cannot measure accurately. True RMS capability allows technicians to diagnose these systems with confidence, improving maintenance accuracy and reducing unnecessary equipment replacement.

Beyond current measurement, the Fluke 355 functions as a complete professional digital multimeter. It measures AC and DC voltage up to 1000V, allowing users to verify electrical supplies, inspect distribution panels, troubleshoot motor control centers, commission industrial equipment, and perform routine maintenance on commercial and industrial electrical systems. Voltage measurement capability supports applications ranging from manufacturing facilities to renewable energy installations and utility substations.

The integrated data logging capability distinguishes the Fluke 355 from conventional clamp meters. Maintenance professionals can record electrical measurements over extended periods, enabling trend analysis, intermittent fault detection, preventive maintenance, and performance monitoring. Long-term logging is particularly useful for diagnosing fluctuating motor loads, monitoring transformer performance, evaluating power consumption, analyzing battery systems, and documenting electrical conditions before and after maintenance activities.

The Fluke 355 also measures resistance, frequency, and provides continuity testing, allowing technicians to inspect motors, transformers, relays, switches, electrical wiring, heating elements, sensors, and industrial control systems. These measurement functions provide a comprehensive diagnostic solution in a single handheld instrument.

Another valuable feature is Inrush Current measurement, which captures the temporary surge current that occurs during motor startup, compressor activation, transformer energization, and other heavy-load applications. Inrush measurement assists technicians in evaluating motor health, selecting appropriate circuit protection devices, diagnosing nuisance breaker trips, and verifying equipment performance during commissioning.

The large backlit LCD display offers exceptional readability in industrial plants, substations, utility facilities, electrical rooms, manufacturing environments, and outdoor installations. Multiple measurement values can be displayed clearly, reducing testing time and improving diagnostic efficiency. The intuitive user interface allows technicians to access advanced functions quickly while minimizing training requirements.

Designed specifically for high-current applications, the Fluke 355 features an oversized clamp jaw capable of measuring large-diameter conductors and busbars. This expanded capacity makes the instrument especially valuable for utility power distribution, renewable energy systems, industrial manufacturing, mining operations, marine applications, petrochemical facilities, and heavy electrical maintenance.

The clamp meter includes productivity-enhancing functions such as Data Hold, Min/Max recording, Peak measurement, Auto Ranging, Automatic Power-Off, and onboard memory for logged measurements. Together, these features improve measurement efficiency while supporting predictive maintenance and asset management programs.

Built to withstand demanding industrial conditions, the Fluke 355 incorporates rugged impact-resistant construction capable of reliable operation in manufacturing facilities, oil and gas plants, mining operations, renewable energy sites, utilities, transportation infrastructure, steel plants, chemical processing facilities, and commercial electrical installations.

Safety is fundamental to every Fluke instrument. The Fluke 355 complies with CAT IV 600V and CAT III 1000V safety standards, allowing qualified technicians to safely perform measurements on service entrances, industrial power distribution systems, permanently installed electrical equipment, switchgear, and utility infrastructure.
