The DMM is certified as intrinsically safe according to the European Atex directive for use in potentially explosive environments.
It incorporates circuitry for taking accurate voltage and frequency measurements on variable speed motor drives (VSDs) and other electrically noisy equipment.
It has the resolution and accuracy to solve problems on VSDs, in plant automation, power distribution and electromechanical equipment.
It is equipped with a built-in thermometer and has large display digits and a bright white backlight for easy reading in low-light environments.
A magnetic hanger enables technicians to snap the tool temporarily onto steel panels where it is easily accessible, freeing their hands for other tasks.
Its Atex safety rating is for use in Zones 1 and 2, and it also has EN61010 and 600V Cat IV and 1000V Cat III electrical safety rating, for use elsewhere in the plant.
The electrical safety rating means it is engineered to withstand voltage spikes of 8kV to help protect users against the hazards of arc flash, so it to be used safely inside and outside the hazardous zone. Request a free brochure from Fluke (UK) ...
