The SureTest® circuit analyzers use patented technology to “see 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-neutral 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 #61-165 circuit analyzer utilizes patented technology to identify wiring problems such as poor grounding, false grounds, and arc faults. It measures true RMS voltage, voltage drop under 12, 15, and 20-amp loads, and conductor impedances to ensure electrical safety and equipment performance.
| Load Current | 12, 15, and 20-amp |
|---|---|
| Voltage Rating | 250VAC |
| Ground-to-Neutral Voltage | <2VAC |
The National Electrical Code recommends 5% as the maximum voltage drop for branch circuits.
Allow 20 seconds between insertions to adequately dissipate any heat buildup during load testing.
Yes, the SureTest #61-165 tests arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) devices to ensure they are installed correctly.
