Fluke Insulation Tester, 0.01MΩ to 2GΩ Insulation Testing Resistance, 50V to 1000V Test Voltage - FLUKE-1587 FC


This insulation tester is a handheld, battery-operated instrument combining insulation measurement with multimeter functionality for use in industrial automation, electronics, electrical and mechanical maintenance. It provides selectable test voltages across a wide range and incorporates live-circuit detection and auto-discharge to help protect users and equipment during on-site diagnostics.

Features & Benefits


• Insulation range to 2GΩ for detecting high resistance faults
• Test voltages from 50V to 1000V for versatile inspections
• 1mA test current for standardised insulation stress testing
• CAT IV600V CAT III1000V safety categories for site use
• LCD backlight display for clear readings in low light
• AA battery power delivering around1000h runtime

Applications


• Suitable for preventive insulation screening on motor windings
• Ideal for insulation verification on control panels and drives
• Used for fault-finding on industrial cable runs and terminations
• Can be used with thermal probes for temperature‑compensated baselines
• Suitable for acceptance testing of new installations up to1000V

How does the unit protect against testing a live circuit?


It inhibits insulation testing if Terminal voltage exceeds30V prior to test initialisation, preventing inadvertent application of test voltage.

What storage and communication capabilities are available?


The device can store measurement data remotely via a wireless system compatible with mobile applications, enabling graphing and historical trend analysis when paired with a supported app.

What environmental conditions can it operate within?


It functions between‑20°C and55°C and is specified to operate at altitudes up to2000m, with non‑condensing relative humidity limits defined by temperature bands.

What overload and capacitance limits apply during insulation tests?


Maximum capacitive load accepted is1μF and the instrument provides auto‑discharge of capacitive voltage, with test current short‑circuit nominally1mA.

Supplied with

The Fluke 1587 FC Insulation Multimeter comes with a remote probe, test leads, alligator clips, K-type thermocouple, hard case and user documentation.
