The Fluke T6 is the perfect ‘all-in-one’ instrument for troubleshooting, maintenance and service.
Fault finding in electrical systems can be time-consuming and potentially dangerous as it requires access to metal contact points.
With the latest Fluke T6 electrical testers, reliable True RMS measurements can now be made in congested junction boxes or along conductors with inaccessible endpoints.
This saves time, eliminates potential errors and significantly reduces the risk of arc discharge. The robust testers have the safety specification 1000 V CAT III and
600 V CAT IV and feature an easy-to-read backlit display.
How does FieldSensor technology work?
With a capacitive sensor, a voltage signal is measured via the user's hand in relation to earth, without any electrical contact or galvanic connection and completely isolated!
The sensor area of the tester should be close to the measured signal on a live conductor. In this case, both the user's hand and body provide a connection to earth. The electric field (voltage) and magnetic field (current) are recorded. If the earth connection is missing, an earth symbol is displayed on the T6's display.
Test leads should be used in some cases: When the hand or human body is isolated from the earth ground (e.g. by safety gloves) or when the human body is not in contact with the earth ground (e.g. on upper floors in wooden houses), contact with the earth ground should be made by connecting the black test lead (COM) to the earth ground.
