Fluke T5-600 Electrical Tester
The Fluke T5-600 Electrical Tester is a compact voltage, continuity, current and resistance tester designed for residential, commercial and industrial electricians. It automatically measures AC and DC voltage up to 600 V, measures AC current up to 100 A through its OpenJaw™ design and displays resistance up to 1000 Ω. A built-in continuity beeper supports quick go/no-go checks, while resistance measurement can be used when troubleshooting motors, HVAC systems and electrical systems.
Using the OpenJaw™ sensor, AC current can be measured around a single conductor without breaking the circuit or making metallic contact for the current measurement. Detachable SlimReach™ probe tips, built-in probe storage and a rear test-lead slot support access and handling in tight spaces, while display hold, auto-off and a low-battery indicator support everyday testing. Rated CAT III 600 V, the tester also incorporates an integrated protection circuit and is designed to withstand a 3 m drop.
Key Benefits
- Automatic AC/DC voltage selection removes the need to manually select between AC and DC measurement
- OpenJaw™ current measurement checks AC current up to 100 A without breaking the circuit
- Current measurement does not require metallic contact with the conductor
- Resistance measurement supports troubleshooting of motors, HVAC systems and electrical systems
- Built-in continuity beeper provides quick go/no-go continuity checks
- Detachable SlimReach™ probe tips support testing where access is restricted
- Built-in probe storage keeps the test probes with the tester between measurements
- Rear test-lead slot allows the tester body to act as an extended handle for one probe
- Display hold retains a measurement on the display for viewing
- Auto-off mode helps conserve battery life when the tester is not being used
Common Applications
Fluke T5-600 Electrical Tester is suitable for a range of electrical testing and troubleshooting tasks, including:
- Residential electrical troubleshooting
- Commercial electrical troubleshooting
- AC and DC voltage measurement
- AC current measurement without breaking the circuit
- Resistance troubleshooting on motors
- Resistance troubleshooting on HVAC systems
- Resistance troubleshooting on electrical systems
- Continuity go/no-go testing
Why Choose This Model?
The T5-600 is intended for applications requiring voltage measurement up to 600 V with a CAT III 600 V rating, while retaining the 100 A AC current and 1000 Ω resistance ranges also provided by the T5-1000. Fluke directs users to the T5-1000 for higher-voltage applications, where voltage measurement extends to 1000 V with CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V ratings.
