Meters and Testers Near Me (155 items found)

Safety is the number one priority in any electrical work, and our power meter, outlet tester and voltage detector department contain the tools you need to ensure that circuits are operating correctly, whether you're working with small-scale wiring or full electrical installations.

Inspect Outlets with a GFCI Tester

A GFCI tester is a kind of outlet tester that examines the wiring condition of standard outlets. All you must do is plug the GFCI tester into the outlet for it to deliver a report on such conditions as:

• ground fault interruption
• open ground
• open neutral
• open hot
• hot/ground reverse
• hot/neutral reverse
• open wiring

Using a GFCI tester is the vital first step in detecting wiring problems or damage which could result in a short circuit, exposed live currents or electrical sparks when a device is plugged into the outlet.

Ensure Safety with a Reliable Voltage Detector

A non-contact voltage detector is a vital safety tool for any electrical work and is used to test for voltage in a circuit or wire without needing to physically touch it. It can be used on single components to ensure safety before starting work, or for discovering hidden live wires threaded throughconduits in a wall before drilling or installing fittings. We also carry wired voltage detectors which can be inserted directly into electrical outlets to ensure no power is present before beginning repairs.

Work More Quickly with a Circuit Breaker Tester

Circuit breakers are essential for quickly cutting the power in an emergency such as a fault or short circuit. A circuit breaker tester helps you find which of the breakers in your electrical panel are connected to a specific circuit so that you can safely turn off the power before beginning a repair. Simply attach the transmitter part to the outlet or fixture you want to work on, then move the receiver section over the line of breakers to find which one you should flip to stop the power.

Test Electronic Circuits with LCD Digital Multimeters

Digital multimeters are must-have tools for anyone who works with electricity and can be used to measure the electrical properties of installation circuits, electric appliances, and electronic devices of all kinds. Depending on the model, you can easily test the AC or DC voltage in a circuit, along with current, resistance, capacitance, frequency and temperature, with all the readings made with digital precision. What's more, with their small size and versatility, digital multimeters are an ideal toolbox item to carry with you for every job.

Full Convenience with an Electrical Test Kit

If you often work with electricity, a full electrical test kit provides everything you need to measure circuits of all kinds, with components including multimeters, non-contact testers, voltage detectors and more. Combine one of our test kits with electrical essentials including wire strippers and cable cutters and you're ready to go with any electrical task you come across.
