IDEAL 61-164 SureTest Circuit Analyzer
The IDEAL® 61-164 SureTest® Circuit Analyzer is a True-RMS tester that measures line voltage, peak voltage, frequency, ground to neutral voltage, ground impedance plus hot and neutral conductor impedances. It identifies proper wiring in three-wire receptacles and identifies false (bootleg) grounds. Use it to test GFCIs and EPDs for proper operation. The device conducts testing without disturbing sensitive loads.
The 61-164 receptacle tester includes 1-foot extension cord and instruction sheet in a carrying case. This 9.4-ounce unit is 6.4" x 3" x 1.4". Two-year defect-free warranty.
The IDEAL 61-164 SureTest Circuit Analyzer has a super-bright display and high accuracies. It measures voltage drop under full load (12-, 15- and 20-A load tests). Utilizing patented technology, this tester looks 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 caused primarily from arc faults and high resistance points that lead to glowing connections in the circuit wiring. Equipment performance issues arise due to insufficient voltage available under load, poor ground impedance and high ground-to-neutral voltage. In fact, approximately 80% of power quality performance issues are related to these faulty wiring issues. In just seconds, SureTest will test each outlet and circuit under a full load. It checks for various wiring conditions including correct wiring, polarity reversal and no ground per UL-1436. A simple menu gives access to measurements. The ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) test is performed separately in accordance with UL-1436 and disrupts the electrical supply if a functional GFCI is present.
Specifications include: AC voltage (85-265 V AC), frequency (45-65 Hz), impedance (0-1.99 Ω), ground-neutral voltage (0-24 V AC), % voltage drop (12-, 15- and 20-A load tests: 0.1%-50%) and GFCI test current (times out after 6.5 seconds: 6-9 mA, 0-6500 mS).
