The Fluke 1587FC is a digital insulation multimeter (also known as an insulation tester or megohmmeter) produced by Fluke Corporation. It is part of their range of electrical test and measurement tools.
The Fluke 1587FC combines the functionality of a digital multimeter (DMM) with insulation resistance testing capabilities. It is designed to measure insulation resistance, continuity, voltage, frequency, capacitance, and perform other electrical tests.
Key features of the Fluke 1587FC may include:
1. Insulation resistance testing: The 1587FC can measure insulation resistance up to 2 Gohms with selectable test voltages of 50V, 100V, 250V, 500V, and 1000V. This helps in identifying insulation breakdown or deterioration in electrical systems.
2. Digital multimeter functions: It offers the functionality of a DMM, allowing measurements of AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, resistance, capacitance, frequency, diode testing, and temperature.
3. Bluetooth connectivity: The Fluke 1587FC is equipped with built-in wireless Bluetooth technology, enabling remote monitoring and data logging using the Fluke Connect mobile app. This feature allows real-time sharing of measurements and collaboration among team members.
4. Automatic and manual ranging: The meter automatically adjusts the measurement range for ease of use, but also allows manual range selection when desired.
5. True RMS measurements: The device can provide accurate root mean square measurements of AC voltages, currents, and frequency, even for non-sinusoidal waveforms.
6. Auto-discharge of capacitive voltage: The meter automatically discharges capacitive voltage after insulation tests to enhance user safety.
7. Large display: The device typically features a large, easy-to-read digital display with backlighting for enhanced visibility in various lighting conditions.
