Fluke Insulation Tester, 1000V Maximum Test Voltage, 0.1 MΩ to 600 MΩ Insulation Testing Resistance - FLUKE-1577

This insulation tester combines an electronic insulation tester and a true RMS digital multimeter in a single handheld instrument for fault finding and preventative maintenance in industrial settings. It is battery powered and designed to assess insulation resistance and standard electrical parameters while detecting live voltage to prevent unsafe insulation tests.

Features & Benefits

• Insulation resistance range 0.1MΩ–600MΩ provides wide diagnostic scope
• Test voltages 500V and 1000V enable standard insulation checks
• High test current 1mA supports accurate measurements at 1kΩ/V
• CAT IV 1000V insulation tester rating enhances on-site safety
• Battery life up to 1000 h reduces downtime during field work
• Large LCD display with backlight improves readability in low light

Applications

• Suitable for maintenance of motors and generators
• Ideal for testing cable insulation in industrial installations
• Used for verifying switchgear insulation integrity
• Can be used for routine insulation checks on control panels
• Used with remote probe and clips for hard-to-reach connections

How does it prevent performing an insulation test on live circuits?

It detects voltages above 30V and inhibits insulation testing when such voltage is present to protect users and equipment.

What power source and battery type does it require for field operation?

It operates from alkaline cells and is specified to perform extensive meter and insulation testing on fresh batteries.

What safety and measurement standards are applicable to its design?

It meets IEC 61010-1 safety requirements and is rated for CAT III and CAT IV measurement categories at specified voltages.

How robust is it for workshop and site use regarding ingress protection and storage?

It is supplied in a rugged hard case and its environmental limits include wide operating and storage temperature ranges suitable for varied conditions.
