Applications for the FLUKE T5-1000
This versatile device is ideal for a wide range of applications. Whether you‘re working on home installations or industrial control panels, the FLUKE tester T5-1000 is the right tool for the job.
General Electrical Use
- Confirm whether circuits are live before starting work
- Troubleshoot wiring and continuity issues
- Measure component resistance accurately up to 1000 Ω
Residential Use
- Check branch circuit loads at distribution boards
- Map circuit breakers to outlets with voltage testing
- Measure voltage drop across breakers or fuses
Industrial and Commercial Use
- Verify load currents on panel boards and feeder cables
