Clamp meters

[2141]

I am looking for a meter that is capable of reading compressor starting amps. I have a fieldpiece and a uei and neither of them have a peak option. Is there another way to check it or is the meter just not capable?

I've seen meters with a peak hold feature. I forget the brand at the moment.

Why do you need to measure this?

The Fieldpiece SC56 does that.

You need to set the range first so it isn't in auto ranging mode otherwise you get out of range stored as a max.

I have a Fluke 376 with the flexible amp probe. Works great and also has a min/max/average feature you desire.
