--- Quote ---Product Identifiers Brand: Fluke Model: 3PHVL-17XX Other: Recalled Cables may also be present in kits that have serial numbers 53900001 to 60199999 (inclusive) The date code of the cable can be found on both overmolds of the cable and is shown by two imprinted date wheels. The first wheel indicates a two-digit year, and the second wheel indicates a month number. For example, the image below shows “21” and “11”, corresponding to November 2021, which would indicate that this cable is affected by this recall. Some cables may instead have a code printed on the longer end of the L1/A cord. The code will have a manufacturer code, followed by a two-digit month and a two-digit year. For example, the image below shows “07/13” corresponding to July 2013. If a cable has this style of date code, it is not affected by this recall. --- End quote --- --- Quote ---Product Description The product is a 4-conductor test lead accessory that is interconnected to a Fluke power quality analyser used in electrical installation for measurement purposes. The three conductors for phase connections have red 4mm shrouded banana jack terminals whereas the single conductor for the neutral connection has black terminals. The cables concerned are accessories to professional tools. The Recalled Cables are sold separately as 3PHVL-17XX Cable Replacement Kits and are included with the following kits: • Fluke-3540 Power Monitors • 173x Series Power Loggers • 174x Series Power Quality Loggers • 177x Series Power Quality Analysers --- End quote --- --- Quote ---Risk Description The black moulded plastic insulators covering the neutral banana jack terminals of the affected cables are brittle and may crack during the factory assembly process or through stresses expected from normal operation/reasonable use. During installation/removal of the black N-terminal conductor from an electrical installation the presence of a crack in the insulation may allow direct contact to the conductor or a voltage transient to arc to the user potentially leading to electric shock. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016. --- End quote --- Attached PDF of the recall. |

Yet another Fluke recall related to failure in plastic connector housings. Maybe the senior management will listen to the engineers instead of the bean counters, but I doubt it. |
