HYBRID METER - Fluke

The Fluke 1587FC HYBRID METER is a robust 2-in-1 insulation multimeter, engineered for comprehensive electrical measurement and insulation testing in professional industrial, commercial, and automotive environments. This professional-grade instrument seamlessly combines a digital insulation tester with a full-featured True-RMS digital multimeter into a single, compact unit, providing technicians with a versatile solution for advanced troubleshooting and preventative maintenance.

Key Features

• Integrated 2-in-1 Functionality: Streamlines workflows by combining a digital insulation tester with a True-RMS digital multimeter. It offers insulation test voltages of 50V, 100V, 250V, 500V, and 1000V, with a measurement range of 0.01 M? to 2 G?.
• Fluke Connect® Compatibility: Facilitates remote monitoring, data sharing, and advanced diagnostic capabilities via the Fluke Connect® Measurements app. This includes PI/DAR (Polarization Index/Dielectric Absorption Ratio) timed ratio tests with TrendIt™ graphs to help identify moisture and contamination issues faster.
• Enhanced Safety Measures: Features Live Circuit Detection to prevent insulation tests when voltage exceeds 30 V, automatic discharge of capacitive voltage, and remote monitoring via the app, all designed to increase user protection.
• Accurate VFD Measurements: A dedicated VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) low-pass filter ensures precise voltage and frequency measurements on variable frequency motor drives, crucial for accurate diagnostics of motor-driven equipment.
• Clear Readability: Equipped with a large, 6000-count backlit display, ensuring clear readings in diverse lighting conditions, from bright workshops to dimly lit industrial settings.

Applications

The Fluke 1587FC is an essential tool for electricians and technicians performing critical maintenance and diagnostics:

• Hybrid and EV Automotive Diagnostics: Functions as an industry standard for detecting high-voltage current leakage on hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric vehicles, with sensitivity to detect issues before they set a diagnostic code.
• Motor and Generator Testing: Ideal for evaluating the insulation integrity of motors, generators, and windings, supported by the VFD low-pass filter for precise motor drive measurements.
• Industrial Electrical System Troubleshooting: Provides comprehensive multimeter functions for diagnosing AC/DC voltage, current, resistance, and continuity issues in industrial electrical systems and machinery.
• Cable and Switchgear Maintenance: Facilitates insulation resistance testing on cables and switchgear to identify potential degradation or faults in critical electrical infrastructure.
