Verified isolated grounds (with 61-176 adapter)Using the SureTest® Circuit Analyzer to test branch circuits.
The IDEAL SureTest® Circuit Analyzer 61-165 has two functions.
1. Test the physical structure of the branch circuit. The SureTest® Circuit Analyzer calculates Voltage Drop and Percent of Voltage drop at 12, 15, and 20 amp loads in a matter of seconds. With its patented technology, it can perform this test even if there are loads on the circuit, without tripping a breaker or interrupting the load. The Available Short Circuit Current, and the resistance of each conductor Hot, Neutral, and Ground are also measured and displayed.
2. The SureTest® Circuit Analyzer tests the performance of AFCI/GFCI protection from different points on the branch circuit. The Models 61-165 and 61-059 tests the branch circuit performance of the AFCI by simulating an arc fault between hot and neutral. This simulated arc meets the present UL guidelines for AFCI testers. The Model 61-165 can also test GFCI devices at 6mA and 30 mA per the UL guidelines for GFCI testers.
