Fluke FieldSense electrical testing technology

Fluke FieldSense technology offers a safe way to measure voltage by isolating the measurement tool from the voltage source under test. This means that users can conduct test and measurement without contact to live conductors.

The technology senses electrical fields in the open forks of its FieldSense-enabled test tools, including the Fluke T6 series of electrical testers. This allows Fluke tools to be able to measure voltage and current through cable insulation. By doing so, electricians and technicians are provided with an additional layer of safety to protect them from potentially dangerous electrical contact points.

Commercial and light industrial electricians can use FieldSense-based devices for voltage and current measurements, verifying continuity values, and testing individual circuits.

Fluke FieldSense requires no metal-to-metal contact when measuring AC voltage, meaning there is no need for probes or alligator clips to be attached to the conductor. It puts users out of harm’s way of sparks and arc flashes, meaning they can work safely and quickly, taking measurements with only one hand.

By not requiring contact, the technology allows measurements to be taken at any point along the conductor, meaning that crowded junction boxes are no longer an issue. Unlike traditional testers, it goes beyond simple detection and provides information on how much voltage is present.
