Rugged multifunction installation testers
January 1st 2009 Handheld electronic test and
measurement equipment
specialist, Fluke, has
introduced the new Fluke 1650B
Series of multifunction Installation
Testers to test and verify industrial,
commercial and domestic electrical
installations. The 1650B Series
(comprising the 1651B, 1652B and
1653B models) builds on the rugged
performance of the earlier 1650
Series, but has been redesigned to
make testing even more productive.
The testers ensure that fixed wiring is
safe and correctly installed to meet
the latest BS7671 17th Edition wiring
regulations, as well as IEC 60364 and
HD 384.
The testers' ability to show two
measurements at once on a dual
display enables PEFC/PSC and loop
impedance results to be shown in
parallel. This negates the need to run
the tests separately, reportedly more
than halving the test time of other
loop testers.
The 1650B Series also features an
additional new high-current loop test
which gives very fast measurements
when testing in circuits where no
RCDs are being used. More articles from Fluke (U.K.) Ltd: |
