    Product overview: Fluke 1555 FC 10 kV Insulation Tester

    Perform tests, and collect data wirelessly and from a safe distance

    The Fluke 1555 insulation resistance tester offers digital insulation testing up to 10 kV, making it ideal for testing high-voltage equipment including switchgear, motors, generators, and cables.

    Data collection is easy using the Fluke Connect® wireless app. Remote operation lets you spend as little time as possible in potentially hazardous zones. Real-time trending shows a live graph on your phone, rather than a hard-to-read set of changing values. And you can create reports quickly, using pre-designed templates that you can customize with company logos. The 1555 insulation tester can now conduct the entire range of test voltages specified in IEEE 43-2000 with a best-in-class, 3-year warranty, and CAT IV 600 V safety rating.

    Other useful features:

    • Automatic calculation of Dielectric Absorption (DAR) and Polarization Index (PI) with no additional setup
    • Guard system eliminates the effect of surface leakage current on high-resistance measurements
    • Selectable test voltages in 50 V steps from 250 V to 1000 V, and 100 V steps above 1000 V
    • CAT III 1000 V, CAT IV 600 V safety rating
    • The warning function alerts the user that line voltage is present and gives the voltage reading up to 600 V AC or DC for increased user safety
    • Measurements can be stored in up to 99 memory locations, with each location assigned a unique, user-defined, label for easy recall
    • Long battery life gives the user over 750 tests between charges
    • Large digital/analog LCD for easy viewing
    • Capacitance and leakage current measurement
    • Ramp function for breakdown testing
    • Resistance measurements up to 2 TΩ
    • Timer settings up to 99 minutes for timed tests
    • 3-year warranty

Specifications: Fluke 1555 FC 10 kV Insulation Tester

Electrical Specifications
The tester's accuracy is specified for one year after calibration at operating temperatures of 0°C to 35°C. For operating temperatures outside the range (-20°C to 0°C and 35°C to 50°C), add ±.25% per °C, except on the 20% bands add ±1% per °C.
