About Fluke Proving Units
A Fluke proving unit, such as the PRV240, is a portable, battery-powered device that generates a stable AC and DC voltage. It's used to verify the proper operation of electrical test tools like digital multimeters, clamp meters, and voltage testers. By providing a known voltage source it allows technicians to confirm their instruments are functioning correctly before and after performing live tests, enhancing safety and compliance with procedures like "Test Before Touch" (TBT).
The Fluke PRV240 proving unit produces a stable output voltage of 240V AC/DC, enabling technicians to confirm their test equipment is functional without unnecessary exposure to shock and arc flash risks. They offer stable voltage output for both high-impedance (HiZ) and low-impedance (LoZ) instruments.
Key specifications within the range include:
- Output voltage of 240V AC/DC
- Single LED indicator for verification
- Compatible with both LoZ and HiZ instruments
- Long battery life providing up to 5000 tests per set of four AA alkaline batteries
- Operating temperature range from -10?C to 50?C
Notable features for safety and convenience:
- Recessed contacts to avoid accidental contact
- TPAK magnetic hanging strap included, allowing hands-free operation
- Simple single-switch operation
- Compact, pocket-sized design
- Clear LED indication of proper operation
Proving units are particularly valuable when a known voltage source isn't readily available for verification. While they don't eliminate the need for personal protective equipment in all situations, they provide a safe method to verify test tool operation before conducting live tests.
