Fluke T6-1000 PRO TE Electrical Tester with Fieldsense Includes Soft case and Magnetic Hanging Strap Simultaneous voltage and current display - shows all power supply measurements at a glance for efficient troubleshooting 1 to 1000V AC or DC 0.1 to 200A AC vs only 100 amps AC on the T5-600 / T5-1000 Resistance measurement: 1 O to 100 kO Frequency measurement: 45 Hz to 66 HzThe Fluke T6-1000 is the first-ever instrument of its kind. Thanks to Fluke's unique FieldSense technology, the T6 is capable of measuring voltage up to 1000V AC using only the meter's open fork. This means you don't need to open any covers or remove wire nuts to take voltage readings on AC sources. The meter's open fork jaw measures 17.8mm and is large enough to fit wires up to AWG 4/0. Plus, the T6-1000 can also measure current up to 200A AC through its open fork while simultaneously showing voltage and current readings on its backlit screen.Important SpecsThanks to FieldSense, you can use the T6-1000 to measure multiple electrical parameters through the meter's open jaw alone. FieldSense supports measurement of AC voltage up to 1000V, AC current up to 200A, and frequency from 45Hz - 66Hz (FieldSense frequency is only available on the T6-1000 model). You can measure all these parameters without test leads using only the meter's open jaw. That said, the T6-1000 does come with built-in test leads which allow you to measure AC and DC voltage up to 1000V, and resistance in multiple ranges including 2000O, 20.00kO and 100.0 kO.It is important to note that in order to get the most from FieldSense Technology, the T6 meter must have a capacitive path to ground. In most applications, this is provided by the user via a ground contact on the rear of the meter. However, in some cases a ground connection must be made using one of the built-in test leads. FieldSense can only measure voltage relative to gr
