Fluke PRV240 240V AC/DC Proving Unit
The Fluke PRV240 is a compact proving unit that sources 240 V AC/DC to verify the functionality of multimeters, clamp meters, and two-pole testers before electrical testing. It runs on four AA batteries for up to 5,000 tests, reducing arc flash exposure in the field.Overview
The Fluke PRV240 is a portable, pocket-sized proving unit that provides a safe, battery-powered method for verifying the proper operation of electrical test tools before and after measuring live or de-energized circuits. It sources stable AC and DC voltage at 240 V, making it compatible with both high impedance (HiZ) and low impedance (LoZ) instruments without requiring access to a known live voltage source. By eliminating unnecessary exposure to potentially hazardous electrical environments, the PRV240 significantly reduces the risk of shock and arc flash during tool verification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a proving unit do, and who needs one?
A proving unit generates a known test voltage to verify your multimeter is functioning correctly before and after field testing, essential for any electrician or technician who relies on accurate readings.
Why verify your meter before each job?
Meters can be damaged by overload or misuse; checking it with a proving unit before testing ensures your meter is not giving false readings that could mask electrical problems or create safety hazards.
How does the PRV240 reduce arc flash exposure?
By quickly verifying your meter function without needing to access live circuits for extended troubleshooting, you reduce the time spent working near energized equipment—a key arc flash safety strategy.
Can the proving unit test both AC and DC circuits?
Yes; the PRV240 sources both 240 V AC and 240 V DC, so you can verify your meter for either measurement type.
How many tests can one battery charge support?
The PRV240 runs on four AA batteries and supports up to 5,000 tests per charge, meaning one set of batteries lasts weeks for typical daily field work.
Is the PRV240 portable and rugged enough for job sites?
Yes; it is compact and designed for field use; contact Procure.ae for details on its durability and environmental rating.
