Open-Fork Fast Current Testing: MESTEK FM100 / FM200 100A / 200A AC/DC Fork Meter Series in Malaysia
Open-Fork Fast Current Testing: MESTEK FM100 / FM200 100A / 200A AC/DC Fork Meter Series in Malaysia
In crowded electrical distribution panels, compact control boxes, automotive wiring harnesses, and tight terminal blocks across Malaysia, opening traditional clamp jaws can be difficult and time-consuming. MTM Precision is proud to introduce the MESTEK FM100 and FM200 100A/200A AC/DC Open-Fork Meter Series—an innovative, ultra-compact testing tool engineered for fast, non-contact current measurements without the hassle of opening or closing a clamp trigger.
Certified to EN61010-2-032 standards with a CAT III 600V safety rating, the MESTEK FM series features a slim 10mm open-fork jaw, 4000 Counts display resolution, True-RMS signal analysis, non-contact AC voltage (NCV) detection, and thermocouple temperature testing in an ultra-lightweight 100g casing.
🌟 Key Features & Open-Fork Innovation
-
Open-Fork Design for Fast Non-Contact Testing: Features a fixed 10mm open fork slot that allows technicians to simply slide individual wires into the fork head for immediate AC/DC current readings—no trigger pulling required.
-
AC/DC Current Measurement Flexibility: Easily measure both AC and DC current up to 100A (FM100) or 200A (FM200), ideal for DC solar strings, EV charging systems, automotive electronics, and general AC electrical circuits.
-
Black & White vs. Color Display Options:
-
FM100: Features a high-contrast Black and White LCD display for crisp readability in bright ambient lighting.
-
FM200: Features a vibrant, high-definition Color Screen for enhanced visual clarity and intuitive readings in dark environments.
-
-
True-RMS Signal Processing & 4000 Counts Resolution: Delivers exact AC voltage and current readings even on non-linear waveforms produced by variable frequency drives, switching power supplies, and electronic controllers.
-
Ultra-Lightweight & Slim Body: Weighing only 100 grams with physical dimensions of 180 mm x 44 mm x 29 mm, it easily fits into shirt pockets, compact tool pouches, or tool belts.
-
K-Type Thermocouple Temperature Testing: Integrated temperature channel supporting -20°C to 1000°C (-4°F to 1832°F) for rapid thermal audits on electrical contact lugs, switches, and HVAC units.
-
Non-Contact AC Voltage Detection (NCV): Detects live AC voltage presence safely through wire jacketing and conduit enclosures without probe contact.
