DC5K Clamp Test - Second Try with oscope hooked up


Recommended Posts

I wouldnt trust the oscope. You need to be using True RMS tools. a TRMS Volt Meter and TRMS clamp meter.

I bought this oscope years ago after reading all of the hype from this thread

Is this oscope no good?

I have wondered the same thing with clamping at different frequencies. I clamped my DC 9k at 40hz with voltage starting at 14.6 and dropping to 11.9. The video says 12.9 but later I checked and it drops to 11.9 on burps. Results was 8100w but I know it could have been more at a lower frequency and if i actually turned up the radio to 35 instead of 30.

By the way, I removed the videos because the sub wiring wasn't correct and may have skewed the results =P

I will do another clamp test at the end of season when in CJ18's box.
