Fluke T6-1000PRO – Electrical Tester with FieldSense

• Features Fluke’s FieldSense technology
• Measures true RMS AC voltage and current without test leads – simply place the conductor in the instrument’s fork
• Measurements with fork: 1000V, 200A AC (true RMS); frequency from 45-66Hz
• Usable on wires up to 4/0 (17.8mm jaw opening)
• Simultaneous voltage and current display – shows all power supply measurements at a glance for efficient troubleshooting

The T6-1000 PRO Electrical Tester measures voltage up to 1000V AC and current up to 200A AC, all through the open fork and without test lead contact to live voltage. Connect the black lead to the ground with the included heavy-duty alligator clip, slide the wire into the open fork, and see both voltage and current at the same time. On wires up to AWG 4/0 (120mm²), carrying as much as 200A and 1000V AC. Even with gloves on. It will change how you do your job.

FieldSense technology is a breakthrough in how voltage is measured. Other open fork testers detect a magnetic field to show AC current. FieldSense technology detects an electrical field, which interacts with a reference signal created by the T6 tester, which shows the measurement value on the tester’s display.

Tips on using FieldSense technology

• Do not hold or touch the wire you are testing during a measurement.
• Use the black probe to make the ground connection if you are wearing gloves, insulated footwear, or standing on an insulated ladder.

When checking continuity, the screen automatically turns green while the beeper is on. Perfect for those times when it’s too loud to hear the beeper, when you’re wearing ear protection, or when it’s too dark to easily read the screen. Visual Continuity takes the guesswork out of checking continuity.

Fluke offers several versions of its T6 electrical tester. The chart below outlines several main features and differences of each:

Verify your test tool works without unnecessary exposure to shock and arc flash. Make the process easy by using the PRV240FS Proving unit. Verifying that your T6 electrical tester is working properly reduces the need for personal protective equipment (PPE) when a known voltage source is not available for verification before tests are performed. (PPE is still needed for the absence of voltage testing when appropriate).

Fluke’s PRV240FS allows you to “Test Before Touch” (TBT), which involves testing your T6 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.

Voltage is sourced through a central hub designed to test the T6 FieldSense open fork, as well as through recessed contacts that are activated when test probes are inserted to avoid accidental contact. The PRV240FS has been tested and includes an IEC61010-1 and IEC61010-2-030 safety rating.
