Questions & Answers

Can you use it on conduit
ByOct 5, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

The Klein Tools Cat. No. CL390, AC/DC Digital Clamp Meter, TRMS Auto-Ranging 400 Amp, measures current by clamping around one individual wire, not around conduit. Its non-contact voltage function may not detect voltage in wires inside grounded metal conduit. A lack of indication does not mean the wiring is de-energized.

    Can you clamp this onto a wire in a house to see if there is voltage
    ByJul 13, 2026
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    No. The Klein Tools Cat. No. CL390, AC/DC Digital Clamp Meter, TRMS Auto-Ranging 400 Amp, cannot measure voltage by simply clamping around a wire. To measure AC or DC voltage, use the included test leads. The clamp function is used to measure current by clamping around a single conductor, rather than detecting the presence of voltage. If you only need to determine whether a wire is energized without making direct contact, a non-contact voltage tester would be the more appropriate tool.

      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Klein Tools Cat. No. CL390, AC/DC Digital Clamp Meter, TRMS Auto-Ranging 400 Amp can be used to help diagnose automotive electrical issues by measuring AC/DC current, AC/DC voltage, resistance, continuity, frequency, capacitance, and DC microamps. It can help identify electrical faults such as opens, shorts, excessive current draw, and voltage drops. However, it is not designed to trace the physical routing of wiring through a vehicle like a dedicated wire tracer.

        What is the lowest d c voltage this meter will show correctly
        ByMar 23, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        The Klein Tools Cat. No. CL390 AC/DC Digital Clamp Meter, TRMS Auto-Ranging 400 Amp, is capable of measuring DC voltage from very low levels up to 600V. On its lowest range (400.0 mV), it can detect voltages as low as approximately 1.0 mV, allowing for accurate measurement of very small DC voltage signals.

              Can I measure clamped around Romex wiring?
              ByOct 3, 2025
              2 Answers | 
              Answer This Question

              You cannot measure clamped around both conductors. The magnetic field off one is of opposite polarity, and they cancel out. You must separate a conductor and clamp on only one of them. I assume when you say Romex, you intended to clamp the entire cable.

                (2)

                Yes, the Klein Tools CL390 Digital Clamp Meter can measure current through Romex.

                    I was able to sort out why my lights were flickering and safely replace a breaker. It took my DIY to the next level.

                    Quality tool. Arrived on time and as described on the website. More affordable than fluke for what I needed. Works well, mostly using to test line voltage below 480, check capacitors and continuity.

                    I bought this meter about 5 years a go an it still works great left it in my hot car many times an it still works unlike some other testers. Would love to see a dual reading version and a temp setting added to this meter.

                      For electricians that work on both high current alternating current and direct current this is a must as it can read amperage in both AC and DC up to 400 amps. It has a lower scale up to 40 amps. It is also capable of measuring voltage both AC and DC, resistance, micro current and impedance, temperature in Fahrenheit and frequency in hertz. The meter is lightweight, and all of the components are included in a high quality Klein bag. I would recommend this meter for electricians.

                      I chose this product for various reasons. If you live on a farm, you must deal with electric fences. I wanted something to check the current on each wire of the fence to insure cattle would stay in the property lines and stay out of my garden. It takes only a few minutes for cattle to cause havoc in any case. I do use it to check issues with electricity in my barn and house also. this item has multiple uses and is a welcome tool to my arsenal. It will work in many tool boxes because it is so versatile.

                      I work with various types of controls both AC and DC so I need a volt and amp meter to can work with both and have a decent range. The Klein CL390 filled all of these needs in one meter. The feature I like most about this meter is the 400 amp range for both AC and DC currents. After using this meter a while I also came to appreciate the NCV (non-contact voltage) built into the amp clamp. This is typical of most amp meters, but they are always ON or you have to go through menu settings to turn the NCV on ON/OFF. This is annoying, however, Klein has a dedicated button to operate the NCV feature. No annoying volt sensing alerts when using the meter for other functions. The Klein is feature rich with true auto ranging TRMS and Min/Max with data hold. The battery compartment is easy to access and takes standard AAA batteries. I also appreciate the test lead holder built onto the clamp. Too often I have difficulty getting the test leads in tight areas and keeping my hands a safe distance from energized circuits. The test lead holder helps keep me safe. The only drawback of this meter is using it outside with bright daylight. The reverse contrast is perfect in low lighting areas, but outdoors is difficult to see even with LCD backlight on bright setting. I still prefer the Klein reverse display over the standard LCD display of other meters. As for protection of the meter itself, there is nothing in the manual about fuse protection so I assume the meter could be destroyed if the wrong operation is performed; for example measuring high voltage on ohm setting. Overall, this is a really nice set. I don't use my volt meters for temperature measurement but I like that the kit comes with the thermocouple probe. I needed to use the temp probe once and compared it against a calibrated thermometer and the Klein probe was within a degree.

                      This tool is a volt and amp meter with a clamp/antenna for passive detection of any electricity. Auto ranging and has all levels to 400amp and 600 Volts. No contact sensor in the clamp and the meter claims to be safe dropped at 2 meters if you’re a dropper. Meet lots of industrial standards but I use it to find live wires. Comes with a case and a very basic thermocouple of limited quality. Detects temperature. C or F. Other type accessories are available for air and gas or surface or internal (needle) temperature probe. High contrast LCD readout is easy to see. Continuity test with included test leads. Instruction book is clear and comprehensive. The test leads are excellent quality.

                      I have owned a Klein CL2000 clamp meter for several years (and have been very happy with it), so I was curious about the improvements that have been made with this new model. After using it for a while, I am very impressed with pretty much everything about it. The new meter changed the selector switch so it can be operated with one thumb, whereas the older one was a 2-hand operation. As with the older meter, current can ONLY be measured with the clamp – do NOT try to measure current with the leads (except for 0-200 uA DC only). The new meter adds a 40 Amp scale so that if your current is < 40 amps you can have increased resolution. The older meter had 2 magnets for attaching to a metal case while doing measurements. The new meter has the option of a magnetic clamp, but there is a warning that doing DC current measurements with the magnetic clamp in position will negatively impact the accuracy of the current measurement. I would guess that this was an issue with the older meter also and that was why it was removed and made optional. The older meter’s leads had screw-on alligator clips for each lead, but the new meter does not have these, nor can the leads accept any screw-on attachment. I ordered some alligator clip probe adapters (get the ones for 2mm (.08”) probes if you order them also). Capacitance measurement is MUCH faster. The old meter took 23 seconds to measure a 3300 uF cap, while the new one took only 10 seconds; accuracy was the same for both. The new meter adds a temperature measurement as well as 2 levels of backlight brightness. Note that the meter can read to 1000 deg C, but the included probe is only rated to 230 deg C. Higher temperatures require a special metal probe that can withstand high temperatures
