Fluke T6 Electrical Testers honored in AHR 2018 Innovation AwardsEVERETT, Wash., Oct. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The new Fluke® T6 Electrical Testers have taken top honors in the Tools and Instruments category of the AHR 2018 Innovation Awards. The winners were selected by a panel of third-party ASHRAE member judges who evaluated all award entries based on innovative design, creativity, application, value, and market impact. This is the second honor for the Fluke T6 Electrical Testers, which were introduced in September 2017. The true-rms T6 Testers can be seen in booth 6549 at the 2018 AHR Expo being held January 22-24 at McCormick Place in Chicago. The new Fluke® T6 Electrical Testers make troubleshooting safer and more efficient by allowing electricians to take simultaneous voltage and current measurements — not just detection — without test leads. The T6 Testers are the first test tools to use FieldSense Technology, which — for the first time — eliminatesthe need to make contact with electrical conductors with test leads or alligator clips, significantly reducing the potential for arc flash while saving time and minimizing potential errors. FieldSense Technology uses an open-fork voltage sensing technology, which 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 the Fluke T6-600 and T6-1000 testers, electricians can:
The rugged testers are 1000 V CAT III, 600 V CAT IV safety rated (600V CAT III for the T6-600 model) and feature an easy to read display with a backlight.
