How does that get a pass? --- End quote --- I don't think any of Fluke's "Asian" meters have 3rd party certification either. You have to trust Fluke that (eg.) their 101 is really CAT rated. :popcorn: --- End quote --- Left, made in USA, right made in China. Attached is also the recall for the Chinese made Fluke. Take the time to read the last remark. :popcorn: |

I don't think the 101, 15B/17B, etc. are officially available outside of Asia, hence they aren't 3rd-party certified. The 11x series are available in other areas, hence they are. --- Quote from: joeqsmith on September 14, 2017, 12:16:22 am ---Take the time to read the last remark. :popcorn: --- End quote --- Thus proving that it's impossible for a Youtuber (or anyone else) to simply look at the insides of a meter and proclaim a CAT rating. |

Plus Sanwa has a good reputation. Like the cheap Flukes(for the Chinese market, but still Flukes!), so wy should Dave say its only good for low voltage/energy ? What makes you think that ? Because its not third party certified ? Youre welcome to proove Sanwa wrong and sue them then. If a company has a good reputation and they lie about CAT ratings they would not only be sued, but afterwards loose a lot of credibility and market share. |
