Important Specs

Thanks to FieldSense, you can use the T6-1000 to measure multiple electrical parameters through the meter’s open jaw alone. FieldSense supports the 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 2000?, 20.00k? and 100.0 k?.

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 the ground and must have a solid ground connection. Phase to phase measurement is not possible with FieldSense.

Measure Voltage Without Test Leads

Contacting electrical conductors with test leads or alligator clips requires metal-to-metal contact, which as an electrician or technician knows, carries the potential for arc flash. FieldSense eliminates that step. The person performing the test is safer from potential electrical shock because the measurement tool and the voltage source under test are isolated. This is performed by means of galvanic isolation or separation, the principle that isolates functions of electrical current to prevent current flow.
