Quicktest provides fast, safe temporary connection to equipment

Connection of cables, products or appliances to Quickest takes just a few seconds. Simply open the lid, which automatically isolates the 3 phase supply, insert each bare cable end by pressing the five colour-coded piano key cable clamps, and then close the lid to complete the circuit between the device being tested and the 3 phase supply. Opening the lid again isolates the supply source so the conductors can be rapidly removed.

The colour-coded piano key cable clamps are also marked L1, L2, L3, N and E to prevent any confusion. Each phase is protected by an individual 16A fuse as standard and each phase is fitted with an individual neon indicator lamp to indicate when the phase is live and connected to the supply.

The unit is suitable for free standing or mounted to a bench or test fixture and it measures a compact 49mm x 100mm x 160mm.
