Why you need the Fluke 1587 FC Insulation Multimeter

Insulation multimeters are an integrated tool for maintaining and troubleshooting motor systems, electrical distribution, and production equipment. Carrying the Fluke 1587 FC will enable you to test insulation more often, making your maintenance tests more thorough and your troubleshooting more effective.

This multimeter combines a TRMS digital multimeter and a digital insulation tester in a single, compact unit. For this reason, it is capable of measuring a higher resistance than the average multimeter; allowing you to know when a cable is leaking under high voltage – see 0:25.

Its compatibility with Fluke Connect® makes it even more of an asset in your toolbox! Find out why at 0:58.
