Product Overview: Fluke 1550C/1550C FC Insulation Resistance Tester
Now compatible with Fluke Connect® Mobile App (1550C FC models only)
The Fluke 1550C/1550C FC Insulation Resistance Tester provides digital insulation testing up to 5 kV and is ideal for testing a wide variety of high-voltage equipment, including switchgear, motors, generators, and cables.
The Fluke Insulation Tester is a best-in-class instrument that covers the entire test voltage range specified in IEEE 43-2000, comes with a 3-year warranty, and achieves a CAT IV 600 V safety rating.The 1550C / 1550C FC features measurement memory and a PC interface to identify potential equipment failures in advance, making it an ideal tool for preventive or predictive maintenance programs.
Assessing trends and addressing concerns
The Fluke Connect® mobile app is an easy-to-use, state-of-the-art wireless system for identifying and trending anomalies for troubleshooting, commissioning and preventive maintenance related to insulation resistance testing. With the Fluke Connect® mobile app, all work can be done on the go.
Compatible with Fluke Connect®. View. Save. Share.
The Fluke Connect® mobile app helps you save time and increase productivity when using the 1550C FC Insulation Tester.
A smartphone can set test parameters, start and stop the instrument, and capture real-time readings from up to 15 meters away, away from high-voltage hazards.
Using a smartphone also helps you to see more: a graph of test results changing in real time, which is even more helpful for analyzing equipment problems.
Benchmark readings by graphing them over time to capture intermittent events. Add text and/or voice memos when pushing or reading readings, images and notes to or from work orders.
The Fluke Connect® application for PC helps you to quickly generate test reports by simply checking off the test results you need on your PC to get a complete test report, ideal for predictive equipment maintenance.
You can even use ShareLive™ video calls to share test results in real time with team members anywhere else in the world.
Product Specifications: Fluke 1550C/1550C FC Insulation Resistance Tester
Electrical specifications | ||
The specified tester accuracy is at 0 °C to 35 °C operating temperature for one year after calibration. Operating temperatures outside this range (-20 °C to 0 °C and 35 °C to 50 °C) require an increase in accuracy of ±0.25 %/°C, but within the 20% error range, an increase in accuracy of ± 1%/°C is required. | ||
