Benefits and Applications
The UT18C series is engineered for maximum safety and efficiency in challenging electrical testing scenarios. Its high CAT IV safety rating provides crucial protection against electrical surges, while the IP65 rating guarantees durability in harsh weather or dusty industrial settings. Electricians, maintenance technicians, and DIY enthusiasts can leverage its versatile features for:
- Verifying voltage presence in circuits, outlets, and electrical panels.
- Identifying live and neutral wires quickly and safely.
- Testing three-phase motor connections and rotation direction.
- Checking for continuity in cables, fuses, and switches.
- Ensuring proper function of RCDs to prevent electrical hazards.
- Troubleshooting electrical systems in dark attics, basements, or outdoor environments thanks to the built-in light.
- Performing essential checks even when batteries are depleted, for increased reliability.
The UT18C’s automatic functions and clear LED/LCD indications streamline the testing process, making it a professional-grade tool for accurate and secure electrical diagnostics.
