The FLUKE 1508 is another model of digital insulation tester manufactured by Fluke Corporation. It is part of the Fluke 1500 series and is designed for measuring insulation resistance and conducting various tests in electrical systems and equipment. Here are some features and capabilities of theFLUKE 1508:
1. Insulation Resistance Measurement: The FLUKE 1508 can measure insulation resistance over a wide range, from 0.01 MΩ (megohm) to 10 GΩ (gigohm). It offers selectable test voltages of 50 V, 100 V, 250 V, 500 V, and 1000 V to accommodate different testing requirements.
2. PI and DAR Testing: It features Polarization Index (PI) and Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR) testing capabilities. These tests help assess the insulation properties of electrical systems and provide insights into the health of the insulation.
3. Low Resistance Measurement: Similar to the FLUKE 1503, theFLUKE 1508 can measure low resistance values in the range of 0.01 Ω to 20.00 kΩ for tasks such as checking continuity and identifying wiring faults.
4. Digital Display and Data Storage: The device features a built-in digital display that shows measurement values, test results, and other relevant information. It also has memory to store multiple test results for later analysis and comparison.
5. Auto ranging: The FLUKE 1508 has an auto-ranging feature that automatically selects the appropriate range for accurate measurements, saving time and reducing errors.
6. Easy to Use: The FLUKE 1508 is designed with user convenience in mind. It has a straightforward interface, intuitive controls, and a compact, rugged design for easy handling in various work environments.
7. Safety Features: Like other FLUKE instruments, the FLUKE 1508 combines functionality with safety. It is rated for CAT IV 600 V and CAT III 1000 V, providing reliable protection in demanding electrical environments.
