SureTest® circuit analyzers use patented technology to “look behind walls” to identify wiring problems that can lead to personal shock hazards, electrical fires, or equipment performance issues. Personal shock hazards stem from poor grounding, false grounds, and/or no ground fault protection. Electrical fires are primarily caused from arc faults and high resistance points that lead to glowing connections in the circuit wiring. And, equipment performance issues arise due to insufficient voltage available under load, poor ground impedance, and high ground-to-neu- tral voltage. In fact, it’s estimated that 80% of power quality performance issues are related to the faulty wiring issues stated above.
The Ideal SureTest circuit analyzer is a tool designed to identify wiring problems that can lead to personal shock hazards, electrical fires, or equipment performance issues. It utilizes patented technology to 'look behind walls' by measuring various electrical parameters under load conditions.
Key features include True RMS measurement, voltage drop testing at 12, 15, and 20-amp loads, and the ability to measure line, ground-to-neutral, peak, and frequency voltages. The device also identifies false grounds, tests GFCIs and AFCIs for proper operation, and checks for shared neutrals that may cause nuisance tripping.
| Load Testing Amperages | 12, 15 and 20-amp loads |
|---|---|
| Voltage Measurement Types | Line, Ground-to-Neutral, Peak, Frequency |
| Conductor Impedance Measurements | Hot, Neutral and Ground conductor impedances |
| Line Voltage Standard | 120VAC +/-10% fluctuation at 60 Hz |
| Ground-to-Neutral Voltage Limit | less than 2 VAC |
It checks for correct wiring, polarity reversal, no ground, and false grounds.
It faults 6-9mA from hot-to-ground to test Ground Fault Circuit Interrupting devices.
It creates a short-duration arc between hot and neutral conductors to test Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters.
Allow 20 seconds between insertions to dissipate heat buildup.
