The Fluke 1587 FC insulation resistance tester (megohmmeter), with built-in multimeter, is the industry standard for tracking down high-voltage current leakage on hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric vehicles.
Several OEMs specify the use of the Fluke 1587 (now the 15987 FC), which is sensitive enough to detect current leakage that may not yet have set a code or caused an issue. As always, proper use of this essential tool is key.
The Fluke 1587 FC Insulation Multimeters combine a digital insulation tester with a full-featured, true-rms digital multimeter in a single compact, handheld unit, which provides maximum versatility for both troubleshooting and preventative maintenance.
• The Fluke 1587 FC Insulation Multimeter adds four powerful new diagnostic functions through the Fluke Connect® Measurements app:
• PI/DAR timed ratio tests with TrendIt™ graphs identifies moisture and contaminated insulation problems faster
• Memory storage through Fluke Connect eliminates writing down results, reduces errors and saves data for historical tracking over time
• Temperature Compensation through app for establishing accurate baselines and relevant historical comparisons
• Historical tracking and trending of assets identifies degradation over time, allows real-time decisions to be made in the field with Fluke Connect® Assets
Product highlights
• PI/DAR timed ratio tests
• Live circuit detection prevents insulation test if voltage > 30 V is detected for added user protection
