Fluke PRV240 Proving Unit, 240V

Fluke PRV240 OffersReduces the risk of shock and arc flash by removing unnecessary exposure to a potentially hazardous electrical environment while verifying the functionality of test tools before and after absence or presence of voltage is checked.

Features

Sources both AC and DC steady-state voltage – supplies 240 V DC/AC
A single LED indicates functionality, making this unit a simple-to-use solution for verification of your test tool
Compatible with both high impedance or low impedance multimeters, clamp meters or two pole testers
Voltage is sourced through recessed contacts that are activated when tested probes are inserted to avoid accidental contact
Long battery life – 5,000 tests per set of four AA batteries

Test Before Touch
Provides a safe method to verify that your electrical test tool is operating properly before you conduct further tests. The concept of “Test Before Touch” (TBT) or three point test method involves testing your meter against a known live source before and after the actual measurement. This sequence verifies that your test tool is operating properly during the actual measurement.

Designed for safety and compliance
Safe and easy method for verifying proper operation of your test tool before attempting to test for either an energized source or a de-energized source without the need for cumbersome PPE, or in cases where no known voltage source is available. Your environment may still require minimal PPE such as hard, safety glasses or earplugs when using a proving unit.Fluke PRV240 OffersReduces the risk of shock and arc flash by removing unnecessary exposure to a potentially hazardous electrical environment while verifying the functionality of test tools before and after absence or presence of voltage is checked.

Webinar: EVSE Safety Maintenance with Fluke

In recent years, more people are opting for greener solutions to minimize environmental damage, which has led to an increased demand for environmentally safe solutions such as electric vehicles. Naturally, this has led to an increase in the installation of EV charging stations, but also the risks for technicians. In 2020, there were 126 fatal and 2200 non-fatal electrical injuries. Many of these are caused when technicians are exposed to hazardous voltage and arc faults that could cause shock and fire hazards due to a lack of understanding of proper EVSE installation and maintenance. Considering that EVSEs have a high rate of failure, estimated at 30 to 50% (SAE), reliability is essential when building EV infrastructure and gaining user acceptance.

Webinar: Electrical Equipment Safety with Fluke

When safety is on top of mind, everyone benefits. Ensuring that your facility employs the best workplace practices, test tool standards, and ratings, and considers the dangers and causes of incidents will make for a safer work environment. Taking steps to improve these aspects will allow you to enjoy benefits, such as increased productivity and reduced assets-related and accident-related costs. Many tools can help you improve safety by testing, maintaining, monitoring, or troubleshooting live electrical equipment.
