Bosch PRO True RMS Open Fork Meter GFM1000-15 Electrical Tester CAT IV 600V
The Bosch PRO GFM1000-15 Professional Open Fork Meter functions as an industrial-grade electrical testing and diagnostic instrument engineered to perform non-invasive AC current measurements, voltage checks, and phantom voltage elimination across crowded electrical distribution panels. Featuring an open-fork jaw architecture, this electrical multi-tester measures AC current up to 200A without breaking circuits, AC/DC voltage up to 1,000V, low-impedance (LoZ) voltage up to 1,000V, and resistance up to 60 MΩ. Certified to CAT IV 600V / CAT III 1000V safety classes with an IP54 dust and splash-resistant housing, this open-jaw meter incorporates True RMS technology, an integrated Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) detector, a 6-foot drop-tested chassis, and an LED panel flashlight to isolate circuit faults in high-density commercial equipment.
Best Used For:
- Non-Invasive Commercial Current Testing: Sliding the open-fork jaw over individual conductors to measure AC current up to 200A in tight distribution boxes without breaking circuit connections.
- Ghost Voltage & Stray Line Identification: Utilizing the Low Input Impedance (LoZ V) mode up to 1,000V to discharge induced stray voltages across adjacent live wiring runs.
- High-Safety Industrial Panel Diagnostics: Testing high-energy commercial circuits up to 1,000V AC/DC safely under CAT IV 600V / CAT III 1000V safety environments.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- Open-Fork Non-Invasive Jaw Design: Allows rapid, one-handed AC current testing up to 200A over live conductors in tight, crowded junction boxes.
- LoZ Ghost Voltage Elimination Mode: Low input impedance circuit dissipates misleading phantom voltage readings caused by capacitive coupling in parallel wire runs.
- Precision True RMS Signal Processing: Delivers accurate current and voltage measurements on complex non-linear loads, distorted waveforms, and variable frequency drives.
- CAT IV 600V / CAT III 1000V Safety Rating: Certified to withstand extreme electrical transient spikes on primary service entrances and industrial distribution panels.
- IP54 & 6-Foot Drop-Tested Protection: Rugged, rubber-molded housing resists water splashes, jobsite dust, and accidental drops up to 6 feet onto concrete.
- Integrated NCV Detector & LED Flashlight: Features non-contact voltage proximity sensing for rapid live-line checks alongside a high-output LED torch for unlit enclosures.

Pro-Tip: Switch to LoZ (Low Input Impedance) mode whenever troubleshooting wiring inside conduit runs that carry multiple energized circuits. The LoZ setting places a small load across the test leads, bleeding off false "ghost" voltages induced by neighboring live wires so you only measure true electrical potential.
