In some power stations, the dimensions of busbars and the number of parallel cables are so great that even 24-inch probes cannot reach around them; this is where the Fluke model i3000s flex-36 showcases its power.
This product, categorized under professional accessories for digital multimeters and oscilloscopes, provides unparalleled freedom of operation to testing and maintenance engineers, being close to one meter in length.
This clamp features three measurement ranges of 30, 300, and 3000 Amperes and, due to the absence of a ferromagnetic core, does not experience any saturation errors or additional physical weight.
The BNC output of this device allows the analysis of even the smallest fluctuations and harmonics of heavy currents with high clarity on oscilloscopes.
With a safety rating of CAT III 600V, this flexible probe is not only a measuring tool but also a safety assurance for working in large hazardous environments.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fluke Model i3000s Flex-36
Why should I buy the 36-inch model instead of the 24-inch model?
If you are dealing with wide power busbars or a set of thick parallel cables, the extra length of the 36-inch model allows you to easily encompass the entire set without stressing the coil.
Does the long coil length affect accuracy?
No, Fluke's design ensures that accuracy is maintained across the entire length of the coil, but care must be taken to center the conductor within the loop as much as possible.
Is this product compatible with 87V series multimeters?
Yes, by using a BNC to Banana adapter, you can view its mV output directly on 80 series multimeters and other models.
Conclusion
The Fluke i3000s flex-36 is your longest engineering hand in electrical panels. If you are looking for maximum flexibility and the longest sensor length for measuring 3000 Amp currents, this 36-inch Fluke model has no rival in the market.
