Fluke Introduces Testing up to 10 kV With the New 1555 and Redesigned 1550C Insulation Testers
Fluke Corporation, the global leader in portable electronic test and measurement technology, has introduced the new Fluke 1555 and redesigned Fluke 1550C insulation resistance testers designed for a wide range of diagnostic and predictive maintenance programs.
These testers offer digital insulation testing up to 10 kV (Fluke 1555), making them ideal for testing a wide range of high voltage equipment including switchgear, motors, generators and cables.
Fluke insulation testers can now conduct the entire range of test voltages specified in IEEE 43-2000 with a best in class, three year warranty and CAT III, 1000 V, CAT IV 600 V safety rating. With measurement storage and PC interface, the Fluke 1555 and 1550C are perfect tools for long term equipment monitoring.
Features of the Fluke 1555 and 1550C include:
- Test voltages up to 10 kV provides solutions for all applications.
- CAT III 1000 V, CAT IV 600 V safety rating.
- Warning function alerts the user that line voltage is present and gives the voltage reading up to 600 V ac or dc for increased user safety.
- Selectable test voltages in 50 V steps from 250 V to 1000 V, and 100 V steps above 1000 V.
- Measurements can be stored in up to 99 memory locations, with each location assigned a unique, user-defined label for easy recall.
- Long battery life performs more than 750 tests between charges.
- Automatic calculation of Dielectric Absorption (DAR) and Polarization Index (PI) with no additional setup.
- Guard system eliminates the effect of surface leakage current on high-resistance measurements.
- Large digital/analog LCD for easy viewing.
- Capacitance and leakage current measurement.
- Ramp function for breakdown testing.
- Resistance measurements up to 2 TΩ.
- Timer settings up to 99 minutes for timed tests.
- Best-in-class three year warranty.
