Overview

Evaluate the trends, eliminate the doubt

The Fluke 1550C insulation resistance tester offers digital insulation testing up to 5 kV, 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, 3 year warranty and CAT IV 600 V safety rating. With measurement storage and PC interface, the 1550C is the perfect tool for preventive or predictive maintenance programs designed to identify potential equipment failures before they occur.

Product Highlights

  • Test voltages up to 5 kV provides solutions for all applications
  • CAT IV 600 V safety rating
  • Voltage breakdown detection alerts the user that 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 to 1000 V, and 100 V steps 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 gives the user over 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 2TΩ
  • Timer settings up to 99 minutes for timed tests
  • 3-year warranty
