Update on the @KleinToolsVideo ET450 Circuit Tracer

Good talk. Almost zero bs and some of us just want the facts. Appreciate you

You can also disconnect outlets that don’t have power and go one by one to see which way power runs to narrow down the problem

Thanks 👍

I used the et310 on several jobs and then got the et450- just fyi for those looking, the et310 is very accurate and far faster in identifying the exact circuit, because it automatically remembers the highest value from everything you show it in the panel. The more expensive et450 will allow you to trace high voltage and de-energized circuits, but you often have to play with the sensitivity, and if you do adjust it, you have to trace the whole panel again to find your maximum and visually look at every reading. The et350 was just 2 sweeps of the panel every time, and it would sniff that thing out. If you need the extra voltages above 240, or the extra sensitivity, get the et450. But I seriously miss using the et350. It was snappy and it felt way more like a fully automated process. It was either red or it wasn't, and it was awesome.

Would be interesting to know if you had any success tracing Underground cables in conduit or direct burial cable Ty

Thanks for the great videos Mike.. I am looking for a circuit tracer such as the ET450, but at the same time need to also be able to trace ethernet cables back to their punch / patch panel. I am familiar with and have used both individual types, but are you aware of a tool that does both, or do I have to have one of each. Thanks!

Here in the states, these seem to be very hard to find at this time. Perhaps they are so popular that Klein can't keep up with demand...? I may have to contact (no pun intended) one of my electrician friends and see if they can get it through a supply house. I really need to map out the wiring in my house, and I think this tool would fit the bill well (I can't say it would be ideal because they're a competitor :) )

How would you say this tracer compacted to the ones from ideal? At work we used to have the ideal tracers which work well but I don’t have access to them anymore so I was thinking of buying this one since it’s substantially cheaper

Tracing a Single hotwire from the panel back to the house can't seem to find using the Klein circuit tester. It keeps on popping the GFI .

I’m trying to determine how best to trace a low voltage line. A landscaper installed a low voltage wire through a small brick wall to feed a concrete flower pot. I have access to the wires that come out of the pot. Unfortunately, as I have found elsewhere, the contractor installed these in case a low voltage light was desired in the pot but left the other side in the ground disconnected. How can I find the other side without digging up my yard? Thanks

have you ever looked into the amprobe tracers? I believe they have tracers with higher voltage ratings. Though they have much higher pricing

Have you had better luck using ground or neutral? I used it at a business during working hours and was getting hits on circuits everywhere. It was frustrating. Also, has the tool diminished accuracy with the batteries?

I do lots of residential work and often come across open neutral or open hots, how good is device tracing circuits through walls. Have you used it for diagnostics and troubleshooting?

I don’t have the et450, but I just bought the regular small circuit breaker finder. I had horrible results and it did not work for me. I have a large electric panel and two small panels all in a small closet. Does this affect the circuit breaker finder? Thanks!!!

What brand tick tracers are you using?

What is the NCV button for?

Do you find that the volume on the ET450R receiver is sufficient?

It looks like you moved Klein's Circuit Breaker Finder to the side as you described using the ET450 to find a circuit breaker. Does this mean that you don't like the circuit breaker finder? For 120 volt circuits, it seems to work well but it can't handle the higher voltages you talked about with the ET450.

Question: can you use this to find a break in dog fence that’s buried outside?

347/600v ?
