In high voltage posts or main distribution boards, the dimensions of conductors can be so large that even ordinary flexible clamps cannot encircle them. Fluke model i6000s flex-36, which tops the list of digital multimeter accessories, is engineered to solve this challenge.
With a length of nearly one meter, this probe can easily wrap around large bundles of cables positioned next to each other and accurately measure the total current with high precision.
This device features an electronic unit with three selectable ranges (60A/600A/6000A), allowing the user to use a single tool for both low currents and heavy power loads.
Due to the absence of a magnetic core, there is no “saturation” effect in this clamp, and its lightweight construction ensures that the user does not experience fatigue during prolonged measurements. With a CAT III 600V safety standard and a robust body resistant to environmental noise, this tool has become an unparalleled choice for harsh industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fluke Model i6000s flex-36
What is the difference between the flex-36 model and the flex-24 model?
The only difference is the length of the flexible coil. The flex-36 model is about 30 centimeters longer, making it suitable for very wide conductors or larger cable bundles.
Does the longer coil length affect measurement accuracy?
No, Fluke's internal design of Rogowski coils ensures that the longer length does not negatively impact the basic accuracy (±1%), and signal stability is maintained.
Can this probe be used for long-term monitoring?
Yes, given its 400-hour battery life and industrial design, this probe is well-suited for long-term data recording alongside data loggers.
Conclusion
The Fluke i6000s flex-36 is the ultimate tool for engineers facing massive cables! If you have clients in the power generation, steel, and petrochemical sectors in your marketplace, this tallest and most powerful flexible probe from Fluke is exactly what they will need.
