Proving Units are essential tools used to verify the accuracy and functionality of electrical testing devices such as digital multimeters, clamp meters, and voltage testers. These portable, battery-powered devices generate a known voltage, allowing users to confirm that their testing equipment is operating correctly and safely. By simulating both AC and DC voltages, proving units ensure that no dangerous voltages are present in circuits or equipment, thereby enhancing safety and compliance with testing standards. You can learn more in our proving units guide.

What Do Proving Units Do?

• Verification - they verify the accuracy of electrical testing tools by providing a known reference voltage.
• Safety - they help ensure that circuits are safe to work on by confirming the absence of live voltages.
• Compliance - they assist in meeting regulatory standards for electrical testing and safety.

Who Uses Proving Units?

Proving units are widely used by:

• Electricians - to ensure their voltage testers and multimeters are accurate before performing electrical work.
• Engineers - for verifying the functionality of testing equipment in industrial and laboratory settings.
• Contractors - to maintain safety and compliance on job sites by regularly checking their testing tools.
• Maintenance Technicians - for routine checks and troubleshooting of electrical systems and equipment.
