Fluke PRV240 Proving Unit
The Fluke PRV240 Proving Unit is a compact, battery-powered voltage source designed for safety and compliance, providing stable AC and DC voltages for both LoZ and HiZ instruments. Built around the “Test Before Touch” concept, it ensures your test tools are working properly before and after live measurements, reducing exposure to electrical shock and arc flash hazards. Featuring a simple LED indicator, recessed contacts for added safety, a TPak™ magnetic hanging strap, and a long-lasting battery capable of 5,000 tests, the PRV240 offers a reliable, portable, and user-friendly solution for technicians who require safe and accurate verification of their meters.
Description
The Fluke PRV240 Proving Unit is a compact, portable, and battery-powered voltage source designed to enhance safety and compliance during electrical testing. Unlike standard tools, it provides stable AC and DC voltages for both LoZ and HiZ instruments, making it suitable for a wide range of testing applications. Built with the “Test Before Touch” (TBT) principle in mind, the PRV240 allows technicians to verify that their electrical test tools are functioning correctly before performing any live measurements. By checking your meter against a known voltage source both before and after testing, you can ensure the accuracy and reliability of your readings.
The PRV240 is designed to minimize unnecessary exposure to electrical shock and arc flash hazards by providing a safe verification source when a known live circuit is not available. This significantly reduces the need for personal protective equipment (PPE) in many situations, although PPE is still required when testing for the absence of voltage where necessary.
This unit is extremely user-friendly, featuring a single LED indicator that confirms proper functionality and simple, secure recessed contacts that activate when test probes are inserted, preventing accidental contact with live points. It also comes with a TPak™ Magnetic Hanging Strap for convenient hands-free use and is powered by four AA batteries, offering an impressive 5,000 tests per battery set. Designed for durability, portability, and maximum safety, the Fluke PRV240 is an essential tool for technicians who prioritize accuracy and protection in the field.
