The Fluke T6-1000 Electrical Tester uses FieldSense technology to change how electricians take measurements.
Fluke developed FieldSense so users can measure voltage and current at the same time without metallic contact.
With OSHA and NFPA70E safety in mind, I welcome the T6-1000.
The product video shows the Fluke T6-1000 multimeter’s operation.
Fluke T6-1000 Electrical Tester Introduction
The video shows how the T6-1000 measures voltage much like current: slide the open jaws around a live wire. This method works across a range of testing situations.
Some voltage checks require phase-to-phase or phase-to-neutral measurements, where applicable. The T6-1000 has test leads for these checks and for measuring resistance, frequency and DC voltages.
Fluke T6-1000 Specifications:
- FieldSense technology for ac voltage, current and frequency measurement without making electrical contact to live voltage+

- Standard two-year warranty; extendable to 4 years through product registration within 45 days of purchase
How The Fluke T6-1000 FieldSense Works
No products found.
Contacting electrical conductors with test leads or alligator clips carries a risk of accidents, including arc flash.
With FieldSense, you can slide the open fork over a conductor to read its voltage.
Taking a voltage reading without metal-to-metal contact greatly reduces the potential for arc flash.
Because the measurement tool and the voltage source under test are isolated, the person performing the test is safer from potential electrical shock. This is performed by means of galvanic isolation or separation, the principle that isolates functions of an electrical current to prevent current flow.
FieldSense takes a measurement of voltage without voltage flowing through the meter.
