Fluke T6-1000 Electrical Tester

Fluke has always been regarded as top-of-the-line test equipment in my opinion. I've worked in the electrical industry for more than 40 years. I placed an order for a T6- It took about a month to get 1000 and it cost me 1000. Despite the fact that I am not a field electrician but rather a business owner, I find it useful to have a tester on hand for those times when I need to be hands on. br>br> What surprised me the most when I tried it out on our test bench is that in the field sense position, I get readings all over the place and occasionally get a zero voltage reading even though I know it's a energized circuit. When I know the circuit is 110 volts, I also get wacky readings of over 300 volts. br>br>More importantly, I'm concerned about a young apprentice using this tester and working on a circuit that he has no idea is energized or not because of the false readings. I also get a strap in the box that doesn't have a magnet, and I'm told that the magnet is $40. After spending more than $250, you can add a 00 accessory to your collection. For the tester, you'll have to pay $0. 00. This tester will be returned to me. br>br> I had high hopes for Fluke. Before going on the market, this tester required more factory testing.

I've owned a variety of fluke measurement tools for field work over the years, including the Scopemeter 725, Fluke 773, and others. They are typically high-priced and dependable brands. In fact, if you have a T6-based company, you should have a T6-based company 1000 is a number that has proven to be extremely useful to me. As a result, I made the decision to give T6- It's worth a shot at 600 with field sense. It's made in China, just like my T6-inspired T6-inspired T6-inspired T6-inspired T6- 1000 Even though the quality is excellent, the issue is not with the manufacturing, but with the implementation of the design. The field sense does not appear to be working correctly. It appears that using the probe to measure electrical parameters is a fantastic idea. To use field sense, you must first obtain the ground with the black lead before making any measurements with the probe via field sense. Regrettably, it is far from accurate. My fan heater, for example, consumes 120 volts but only 50 volts when measured with field sense. Depending on how firmly you gripped the supply wiring, you could get as much as 90 VAC. br>Perhaps the next generation of field sense technology will improve field sense measurement accuracy. For the time being, I'm returning it to Amazon and requesting a refund. I'm going to hold off until the next generation of field sense is released. For the time being, I'll hold off on releasing this until their designer has the opportunity to improve their products.

I can now check voltages without dismantling wire nuts, which is a win in my book because it reduces my exposure to energized conductors. All of the responses to the field sense readings are hilarious. Non-conductive boots (EH footwear) will be worn by all electricians on the job. ) You could even be on a fiberglass ladder at this point. I'll never be a good path to ground (for good reason), so I'll always use the black test lead as a ground reference. This is the most accurate method of getting a reading. br>br>Johnny IBEW48 Portland IBEW48 Portland IBEW48 Portland IBEW48 Portland IBEW48 Portland IBEW48 Portland Portland IBE.

"Please return it. " As a result, I requested a replacement and have received one. Regrettably, the "field sensor" does not detect voltage in the same way that the first one did. I'm going to return it.

two of the meters I bought, and finally it's like a novelty item right now everybody wants one as there are not enough, even after 2 weeks, these meters are not suitable for prime time because their tech field sense doesn't qualify for optimal performance here. So, if you're thinking about buying one, save your money because field sense isn't accurate.

I enjoy Fluke, but I can't stand how they made it seem as if it could work without a ground. It's a minor annoyance, but I wish they had made it clear. If you look closely at the photos, you can see an alligator clip connected to the ground.
Edit: 12/17/17br>I contacted Fluke, and they're sending me a free alligator clip; if you're planning on being one of the meter's early adopters, do the same. It's fine to use "Field Sense" with yourself as the ground, but I occasionally get strange readings between 130 and 150. It should be around 120 volts instead of 140 volts. It is critical to have a good foundation.
