AM530 Amprobe

Description:
A multimeter is an electrical testing tool that measures multiple properties of an electrical circuit such as current, resistance, voltage, continuity, frequency and capacitance. They come in various models ranging from hand held models to models that require support like stands.
If you are looking for the best multimeter for your electrical needs, the Amprobe 530 RMS electrical meter is one fine option.
This meter comes with a K-type thermo sensor for measuring temperature without the need for a separate thermometer. It is also designed with non-contact voltage detector which detects AC voltage without making contact with the circuit. Below are the features, pros and cons of the Amprobe AM-530 multimeter.

Features:
Designed and built by Amprobe manufactures in the USA, the Amprobe AM-530 TRMS electrical multimeter is an upgrade of Amprobe’s AM520 and AM510. It has improved features and functions already existent in the previous amprobe multimeter versions. It is the perfect tool for any electrician, whether an amateur or a professional in the field.
This meter features true RMS that accurately measures voltage and current in all possible conditions including noisy locations. It has the ability to measure resistance, frequency, capacitance, temperature and voltage from 750 V AC to 1000V DC with high accuracy. The Amprobe AM-530 also measures alternating and direct currents (AC/DC) of up to 10 amps. Furthermore, it provides accurate voltage of up to 600V.
This meter has other features like audible continuity, diode testing, data hold, non-contact voltage detection and a built-in flashlight. It is designed with LCD display with back lighting useful for working in poorly-lit areas. This meter has an auto power-off mode which helps in preserving battery by automatically turning off within 15 minutes of inactivity. It also has an indicator which lets you know when the battery is low and needs replacement.
Additional features present in the Amprobe 530 include a MAX/MIN memory, auto manual ranging, CAT III 600 V and CAT III 1000V safety rating. These are some of the reasons why the model is so highly regarded in the electrical tools industry today.

Pros:

• Very easy to use as the device includes a revolving dial on the front for easy switching between tests as well as buttons for adjusting additional features

• Beautiful and compact design which is evident from the circuit board that is clearly laid out. This feature is not present in many electrical multimeters

• It is also safe, given that it passes the CAT I AND CAT II safety standards. Moreover, it has a decent overload and blast protection feature

• This multimeter is convenient and user friendly with features like a backlight and flashlight function which allows you to comfortably work in areas with poor lighting conditions
