Fluke T6-1000 Electrical Tester, 1000 V AC

Measure voltage … without test leads

Measure voltage up to 1000 V ac due to FieldSense technology, which easily and quickly takes measurements by sliding a conductor through the open fork. Additionally, without opening covers or removing wire nuts, on wires up to AWG 4/0 (120 mm2), carrying as much as 200 A which makes the jobs safer, faster and easier.

Features

FieldSense technology for ac voltage, current and frequency measurement without making electrical contact to live voltage
Simultaneous voltage and current display shows all power supply measurements at a glance for efficient troubleshooting
1 to 1000 V ac or dc
0.1 to 200 A ac
Resistance 1 Ω to 100 kΩ
Frequency measurement 45 to 66 Hz
Works with wires up to AWG 4/0 (120 mm2) with a 0.7″ (17.8 mm) jaw opening
Hold button temporarily freezes the reading for easy viewing
Easy to read display with backlight

Why use this electrical tester?

Electricians often work in boxes jammed with wires, where finding a safe metallic contact point can be a challenge. With this tester they can take measurements by sliding a single wire into the open fork.

How FieldSense works

FieldSense technology is truly a breakthrough in how voltage is measured. While other open fork testers detect a magnetic field to show ac current, FieldSense technology detects an electrical field. This field interacts with a reference signal created by the tester, creating a voltage value on the tester’s display.

Tips: FieldSense technology

Do not hold or touch wire you are testing during a measurement. Use the black probe to make the ground connection if:

Wearing gloves or insulated footwear
Standing on an insulated ladder
Additional ground contact is required for the application

FieldSense measurement looks like this when probably grounded:

Display color turns green
Display shows a valid measurement >16 V rather than dashes or 0.0
Shows for measurement ≥30 V

Applications

Commercial and light industry

Solving Electrical Problems with Fluke Thermal Imaging
Today’s thermal imagers have become a realistic solution for everyday electrical maintenance as they are rugged, easy to use, and much more affordable than even just a few years ago. It’s a straight-forward process, where a qualified technician or electrician points the thermal imager at the equipment in question and scans the immediate area, looking for unexpected hot spots. The imager produces a live image of the heat emitted from the equipment and with the quick squeeze of the trigger, a thermal image is captured. When the inspection is complete, the image is uploaded to a computer, Apple®, iPhone® or iPad® for closer analysis, reporting, and future trending.

There are a few basic how-tos to consider… electrical load, safety, and emissivity. In this application note, we walk you through these, as well as the Top 5 Checklist, and much more.
