Fluke has developed FieldSense technology that takes the open-fork functionality of the T5 electrical tester and adds AC voltage measurements. Now electricians can carry out simultaneous voltage and current measurements, not just detection, without test leads.
Because the measurement tool and the voltage source under test are isolated, the person performing the test is safe from potential electric shock.
The open-fork voltage sensing technology involves transducing and calculating a known signal to derive measurements for the source voltage. This is done by designing the device to generate a reference signal of known amplitude and frequency. Then, when grounded, the resulting composite waveform is detected by an electronic sensor built into the tester. After amplification, processing and digital calculations, voltage and frequency measurements are derived.
With FieldSense Technology, electricians can measure voltage to 1000 VAC through the open fork, without test leads. There is no need to pull panel covers or remove wire nuts to find a conductor, since measurements can be made anywhere along the wire run.
The 17.8 mm open fork of the T6 can measure up to 200 A on 4/0 wires (120 mm2) and can take readings on 14 AWG wiring.
