The Fluke ST240+ / UK is a plug-in device that easily fits into the socket and checks the wiring status including phase, neutral, and earth.
With three illuminated LED lights and an accompanying guide, it quickly identifies common wiring errors such as earth fault, neutral fault, phase reversal, or reversed neutral and earth.
One of the standout features of this model is the audible alarm, which sounds when voltage is present in the socket, helping users to quickly identify the circuit connected to the socket. This alarm can also be silenced to avoid disruption in quiet environments.
Using the built-in button, the RCD (Residual Current Device) functionality can also be tested on RCD-equipped sockets. By simply pressing this button, the tester attempts to trip the RCD and check if it disconnects.
