Safe and efficient in everyday electrical work: these 3 measuring devices belong in your electrician's toolbox

Your measuring tools are just as essential as your screwdrivers. Because only with the right measuring and testing devices can you work safely, efficiently and precisely. But which measuring devices are indispensable for your everyday work? These three devices make your job easier and ensure maximum safety:

Two-pole voltage and continuity tester

Safety first - this applies above all when working on live parts. That is why one of the most important safety rules is Make sure there is no voltage! The most reliable way to do this is with a two-pole voltage tester. This is an approved testing device in accordance with VDE and IEC/EN.

As a professional, pay particular attention to the measuring range of your two-pole voltage tester. The larger the scale, the more versatile the device can be used. The Wiha professional voltage tester covers a measuring range of 0.5 to 1000 V AC or 1.500 V DC and is therefore also suitable for PV systems.

Further plus points are:

One-handed operability
FI load buttons
Multifunctionality: continuity tests or rotating field tests are also possible

Clamp meter

Measuring current during operation is a challenge - especially for industrial electricians. When electrical systems cannot simply be switched off, the clamp meter comes into play. They allow you to carry out measurements safely while the circuit is live, as there is no direct contact with live parts. In addition, the current clamp allows you to carry out two measurements simultaneously when combined with another measuring device.

The measuring range counts here too: the Wiha clamp meter measures up to 400 ampere and also offers measurements up to 1,000 V AC or 1,500 V DC, resistance and frequency measurements.

Non-contact voltage detector

Want to quickly check whether an appliance is faulty, locate broken cables or track down a blown fuse? The non-contact voltage tester is ideal for this. It shows quickly and without contact whether voltage is present - and is completely safe. Here too, the wider the measuring scale, the more versatile the device is.

The Wiha voltage tester covers a range from 12 to 1000 V AC - ideal for many applications, including industrial electrics.

Other functions include:

Visual and acoustic signal
Compact format with clip for work clothing
Integrated torch function
