Hi,
I have a Fluke MFT 1654B, I have had this one for about 3 1/2 years now, ever since new, when you zero the leads, regardless of if its the blue red or green leads, which ever combination, they always come out at around 0.20 Ohms.
I have periodically had issues over the last 6 months or so when zeroing them, they give 50+ ohms which is clearly not right, so push in and out and then eventually i can get it to settle at the normal level.
Anyway, I have just purchased a new set of the Fluke TL165X leads which are the genuine replacement, and when zeroing them, the reading it much much less, its approx 0.06 Ohms. I have tried it over and again and it always comes out a lot less.
The connections seem a lot tighter which is good and the leads, I would say they are marginally thicker if anything.
I am not complaining or bothered and can only be impressed, but just wondering if anyone else experienced the same thing when replacing their leads? Were the readings about the same? More or less?
To be fair, 0.06 is good, so if you did forget to zero them, its not much really to be bothered about.
