I do not sell these, an actual non-contact VOLTMETER

    Voltmeter
In summary, the speakers came across the Fluke 377 FC clamp meter and found it interesting due to its features such as NC voltage, power quality, and datalogging. They note that the 30V accuracy may not be the best, but are impressed by its capabilities. They also mention the need to calibrate how tightly the meter is held. One speaker mentions that it may not be easy to use now, but predicts that it will improve in the next 5 years. They ask for any articles or papers that explain how the meter works and provide a link to one such article.

Interesting. I guess you have to calibrate how tightly you hold it... :wink:

Yes. Unexpected and remarkable. It might not be that easy to use, but wait 5 years and it might be improved.

No doubt there are paper or articles that describe how it works. If anyone know of such, please post a link.

There are comments from Fluke on the youtube site.
 

1. How does a non-contact voltmeter work?

A non-contact voltmeter, also known as an inductive voltmeter, works by using an electromagnetic field to detect the voltage of an electrically charged object. It does not require physical contact with the object, making it a safe and convenient tool for measuring voltage.

2. What types of voltage can a non-contact voltmeter measure?

A non-contact voltmeter can measure both AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) voltages. It can also measure a wide range of voltages, from low to high, making it a versatile tool for various applications.

3. Is a non-contact voltmeter accurate?

Yes, a non-contact voltmeter is accurate in its measurements. However, the accuracy may vary depending on the distance between the voltmeter and the object being measured, as well as any interference from other electrical fields.

4. What are the advantages of using a non-contact voltmeter?

One of the main advantages of using a non-contact voltmeter is safety. Since it does not require direct contact with the object being measured, there is no risk of electric shock. It is also a quick and easy way to measure voltage, without the need for additional equipment or preparations.

5. Are there any limitations to using a non-contact voltmeter?

One limitation of using a non-contact voltmeter is that it cannot measure voltage on non-conductive materials. It also may not be as accurate as a contact voltmeter in certain situations, such as when measuring very low voltages or in areas with high levels of electromagnetic interference.
