Ideal for preventive or predictive maintenance programs, this insulation resistance tester identifies potential equipment failures before they occur. This tool is Fluke Connect compatible tests digital insulation up to 5 kV. Additionally, remote operation enables you to spend less time in potentially hazardous areas.
Evaluate the trends, eliminate the doubt
Test up to 5 kV and makes data collection easy due to its compatibility with the Fluke Connect™ wireless application. This insulation meter is ideal for testing a wide range of high voltage equipment including switchgear, motors, generators, and cables.
Conduct the entire range of test voltages specified in IEEE 43-2000 with a best in class and CAT IV 600 V safety rating. With measurement storage and PC interface, it is ideal for preventative or predictive maintenance programs designed to identify potential equipment failures before they occur.
Features
- Quickly configure, start, and stop tests remotely, a safe distance away from any operating, energized equipment, using Fluke Connect® and a smartphone
- Real time trending gives you easy-to-see visual cues, rather than hard to read, rapidly changing values
- Automatic calculation of Dielectric Absorption (DAR) and Polarization Index (PI) with no additional setup
