Fluke T6-1000 Offers
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
Fluke PRV240FS Proving Unit
Reduces the need for personal protective equipment (PPE) when a known voltage source is not available for verification (PPE is still needed for absence of voltage testing when appropriate).
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 – 5000 tests per set of four AA batteries
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.

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.
