Traditionally voltage has been measured by attaching test lead probes or alligator clips directly to electrical conductors. This requires metal-to-metal contact that brings with it the risk of arc flash and potential harm to both the person doing the measuring and the equipment being measured.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EFluke FieldSense\u2122 technology offers a safer way to measure voltage by isolating the measurement tool from the voltage source under test. This reduces the risk of electrical shock and arc flash. \u003C/strong\u003EThrough the principle of galvanic isolation FieldSense allows electricians and technicians to measure voltage without exposing themselves to contact points with live voltage. Instead, a FieldSense-enabled test tool such as the\u00A0Fluke T6-1000\u00A0senses the electrical field in the open fork and measures the voltage through the cable insulation.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ECommercial and light industrial electricians can use FieldSense-based devices for voltage and current measurements, verifying continuity values, and testing individual circuits.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cfigure role=\u0022group\u0022 class=\u0022caption caption-img align-center\u0022\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\u0022https://www.magnet.co.za/contactus.html\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\u0022Image 1 \u0022 data-entity-type=\u0022file\u0022 data-entity-uuid=\u00224b6386d0-8c34-479d-965f-6bc8dd81eadd\u0022 height=\u0022365\u0022 src=\u0022/cms/drupal8-magnetgroup/sites/default/files/inline-images/Picture%201.jpg\u0022 width=\u0022188\u0022 /\u003E\u003C/a\u003E\n\u003Cfigcaption\u003EFluke T6-1000\u003C/figcaption\u003E\n\u003C/figure\u003E\n\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u00A0\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHere are the top five ways this non-contact voltage measurement technology can help you work safer:\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E1. No metal-to-metal contact when measuring ac voltage\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFieldSense technology does require a capacitive path to earth ground which, with the T6 electrical tester, can be made in one of two ways. You can create a capacitive path to ground by first firmly inserting both test leads into the storage dock on the back of the tester, then placing your finger firmly on the ground touch point on the back of the battery cover. Next, slide the fork around the ac conductor. The second method is recommended if you are wearing safety gloves or are otherwise isolated from ground. In that case, you simply touch or clip the black test lead of the FieldSense tester to a grounded conductor such as a conduit or junction box.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E2. Goes beyond detection to let you know how much voltage is present\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThere are a variety of devices that can detect whether voltage is present, ranging from pen style testers to clamp meters. FieldSense\u2122 devices go way beyond those to show you not only that live voltage is present, but to accurately measure that voltage. FieldSense technology injects a known signal to accurately derive the unknown ac voltage. This produces an actual ac voltage measurement, unlike traditional non-contact voltage detectors that only detect if voltage is present. So, you now have voltage detection and a measurement in one step, with one tool.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E3. Reduces the need to open panels because you can access wires at junction boxes\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFieldSense-enabled devices don\u2019t need access to wire end points so you can take a measurement at any point along the conductor. This makes it much easier to quickly measure ac voltage and current on traditionally inaccessible measurement points such as crowded junction boxes. All you have to do is slide a single conducting wire into the open fork, read the results, and you\u2019re done in no time.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E4. One-handed voltage measurements\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EBecause FieldSense technology eliminates the need to fuss with test leads, in many cases, you can accurately measure voltage with one hand. The open fork form factor makes it easier to isolate individual hot and neutral wires, which in turn helps reduce the chance of accidental contact with another voltage point and the likelihood of errors.
