The FLUKE 1503 is a digital insulation tester designed and manufactured by Fluke Corporation. It is used to measure insulation resistance in electrical systems and components. The device is commonly used by electricians, technicians, and maintenance personnel to troubleshoot and diagnose insulation problems and ensure electrical safety.
Here are some key features of the FLUKE 1503:
1. Insulation Resistance Measurement: The FLUKE 1503 can measure insulation resistance in a wide range of values, from 0.01 MΩ (megohm) to 2 GΩ (gigohm), with test voltages of 500 V and 1000 V.
2. Auto Discharge: After a measurement, the instrument automatically discharges the tested circuit's capacitance, ensuring safe and accurate subsequent readings.
3. Low Resistance Measurement: In addition to insulation resistance, the FLUKE 1503 can also measure low resistance values from 0.01 Ω to 20.00 kΩ, providing troubleshooting capabilities for various electrical circuits.
4. Digital Display: The device features a clear digital display that shows measurement values, alerts, and additional information.
5. Data Storage: The FLUKE 1503 can store up to 99 measurements in its internal memory, allowing users to review and compare previous readings.
6. Easy to Use: The device has a user-friendly interface, with simple controls and a compact size for convenient handling.
7. Safety Features: FLUKE devices are known for their safety features, and the FLUKE 1503 is no exception. It provides CAT IV 600 V overvoltage category and complies with relevant safety standards.
