KAIWEETS HT208D Inrush Clamp Meter Review

Unboxing & Setup

  • What’s in the Box: A look at the semi-hard carrying case, the clamp meter itself, a K-type thermocouple, probe leads, and three AAA batteries.
  • Preparation: Removing the protective film, installing batteries, and connecting the probes to the simplified two-port system.

Feature Overview & Functional Testing

The video walks through each dial setting and function button, demonstrating real-world measurements:

  • Current (Amperage): Measuring the AC current of a portable air filter at various speeds using the 600A setting.
  • Voltage (AC/DC): Testing a 1.5V AA battery and a standard 120V wall outlet.
  • Frequency & Duty Cycle: Checking the 60Hz frequency and 50% duty cycle of a household outlet.
  • Resistance, Continuity & Diodes: Testing a 220-ohm resistor, an alligator clip for continuity, and a silicon diode.
  • Capacitance: Verifying a 10-microfarad capacitor.
  • Temperature: Using the thermocouple to measure heat from a hot air rework station, reaching over 300°C.
  • Safety & Extras: A demo of the built-in flashlight and the Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) detection, showing both low (green) and high (red) electric field indicators.
