It didn't even dawn on me that if I flipped my clamp meter over, I would get a wrong reading. I always assumed it was bidirectional reading. Thanks! I own three of those Kaiweets clamp meters. I love them; they just work! And did I mention the price! Win, win!
The Kaiweets meter is a good price and Amazon has a 20 % off coupon for it. This was a good topic and I know I learned something from it. Have a good one.
Got a Kyoritsu multimeter in the early 2000s when I was doing a lot of electrical (240v) for work. Just found it in my stash. Big bucks back then. $300 Aussie. I'll definitely check out your links tho. 2 is 1 & 1 is none! More than likely, I got that from you. Thanks 👍
Accuracy on the UNI-T is much higher. I use it on Auto mostly, but so is the RF interference on it so I carry both. The Kaiweets battery last probably 3X as long so either way I got one to cover my installs. Always have one so you can see if your MC4 and connections are making full power.
I've been wanting to get a clap meter for a while now. i got a few on my wish list in the 50 and 60 dollar range. I think im going to buy the one you said was a good clap meter (KAIWEETS HT206D AC/DC Digital Clamp Meter) . I got it on my Amazon Wishlist .Thanks
LOL! We got them as a example of Amorphous. I have had solar on my first place in Baker Nevada since 2006. Bought lots from Solar Blvd and Uni-solar from 2005 to 2009. But always liked checking out Harbor Freight and other sources.
Thanks for the information on the clamp meters John ! Im still looking forward to the two Redodos, whenever you're up to it ! Ive got four new Power Queens and two new Redodo in the meantime while youve been recovering! Got them all on sale at different times ! Looking forward to seeing more content and maybe an email from you soon ! Doug in Pennsylvania
John here's a question for you. If there were an EMP over America, wouldn't that take out the BMS in all of those lithium batteries? I know it can take out a lot more than that but would they be susceptible as well !??
Yes. This is why you buy BMS spares ruclips.net/video/DF6FE_4Iduc/видео.html and set them aside in a metal container in a metal building! My main reason to buy those cheap $15 ones I am using on the recycled cells in the shop. I got 20 of them in one buy when I found they will work with any battery to deliver safe output and charge in basic use.
I use both DC ad AC clamp meters they are getting old but work well (Flukes). I get confused by positive and negative reading sometimes. During the first part in the shop is the first time you have confused me. I will have another cup of coffee and watch again. The on the roof stuff is just how I use mine (DC).
I got pulled off everything by doctor evil ( Kiera ) for getting a hitch in my neck from going up ladders again, did a video on it here but next morning her and mom had me in traction again for 5 days. Seems healing is not my profession!
With the runs so short, and the chance of hail damage I ran them all just as 22 volt parallel. 6X per controller. If you run them 2 or 3 Series, be sure your not where snow, or hail will cripple you.
Off this videos topic, Do you recommend an upgraded 150w power inverter to replace the ford factory 150w one that come in the F-150 and F-250’s ?? Thanks
Yes, I would put a 600 watt or larger in them. As long as you have a safe, well cooled location. The Renogy 700 PS model amzn.to/3t3qIz8 is about the best for such a plan. Small enough to hide, big enough to get the home refrigerator running in a power outage.
y'know I have 3 "amp meters" and I just can't get them to show a current! wth??? I sure appreciate this video. Imma gonna revisit them and see if I was doing something wrong but your video shows how blood simple these are when they work right. Could it be that I got 3 lemons in a row? One of them is a Kaiweets ht206d because I did a freeze-frame on your prior video and ordered one. I'll focus on that one first... will update... CHEERS!
Put new good quality batteries in your meters, the ones from the factories on almost all china products from TV remotes to meters like these have been sent with poor quality cambodian made garbage batteries for the last few years.

👍 For as simple as this video was. I needed this infomation so bad, Think You!
I can't wait to show off the system I've installed from what I've learned from you John. Great advice and thanks for everything.

Great video! Thank you for helping people learn. I personally like my UNI-T better than the KAIWEETS. Just my preference.
Accuracy on the UNI-T is much higher. I use it on Auto mostly, but so is the RF interference on it so I carry both. The Kaiweets battery last probably 3X as long so either way I got one to cover my installs. Always have one so you can see if your MC4 and connections are making full power.
@@JOHNDANIEL1 Great tips, I always enjoy watching.

Excellent vid brou. You explain your power grid very clearly. I just moved back to grade school.
Thanks
Have Fun
Thanks John very useful information.
Thanks so very much ☺️
This old dog picked up on that handy-to-know. Nice assistant you got. Keep them video's coming.. Mike said that?
You bet
Great info. Definitely the next tool I'm buying.
Good info. Great to see you moving so much better
It's the Norco!
@@JOHNDANIEL1 well keep moving anyway just be carefull and if it hurts to much stop and recover . Have been there I'm slow too we just keep going..
Thank you for the video
You have come a long way since your Harbor Freight 100 Watt Solar for the truck!
LOL! We got them as a example of Amorphous. I have had solar on my first place in Baker Nevada since 2006. Bought lots from Solar Blvd and Uni-solar from 2005 to 2009. But always liked checking out Harbor Freight and other sources.
John. Great video as always. Look forward to your next video. :D

And again a awesome video. I have learned something about my clamp meter (same as yours).
I use both DC ad AC clamp meters they are getting old but work well (Flukes). I get confused by positive and negative reading sometimes. During the first part in the shop is the first time you have confused me. I will have another cup of coffee and watch again. The on the roof stuff is just how I use mine (DC).
Hello john hope all is well with you and your family have not heard from you in a few God bless
I got pulled off everything by doctor evil ( Kiera ) for getting a hitch in my neck from going up ladders again, did a video on it here but next morning her and mom had me in traction again for 5 days. Seems healing is not my profession!
Shows you that they care about you good luck
Comment for the algorithm
Basic Reply - so the algorithm is confused even more!
Are the panels on your roof in parallel? I am going to check my 2 arrays today they are both wired in series.
With the runs so short, and the chance of hail damage I ran them all just as 22 volt parallel. 6X per controller. If you run them 2 or 3 Series, be sure your not where snow, or hail will cripple you.

@@JOHNDANIEL1 BINGO! WORKS!
Good deal. Be sure to share that info with anyone having problems with similar items. Its the poor supplied battery in so many things.
where are you in texas?
Hi John have you gone away with wind turbines as I'm trying to get a link to the b c seller's on aliexpress
No, I am installing. We just have had massive medical, 90 days of insane summer heat, medical recovery, and finances slow me to a crawl.
How is this woman so beautiful?!
She's Blessed by God 🙏 and taught by me not to be involved in the current world of horrible woke and nasty women that makes them all ugly.
Amen to that.@@JOHNDANIEL1
