Fluke 1587 FC

Fluke 1587 FC – Insulation Multimeter Combination Tool

Overview

The Fluke 1587 FC is a versatile instrument combining a full featured digital multimeter and an insulation tester in one rugged handheld unit. It offers true-RMS measurement, selectable insulation test voltages up to 1000 V, live circuit detection, VFD low-pass filtering, and connectivity via the Fluke Connect app. It’s designed for electricians, industrial maintenance, and preventive diagnostics where both insulation resistance and general electrical measurements are necessary.

Key Features

• Insulation test voltages: 50 V, 100 V, 250 V, 500 V, 1000 V

• Insulation resistance range: 0.01 MΩ to 2 GΩ

• True-RMS AC/DC voltages and currents

• Live circuit detection (prevents insulation test if voltage >30 V)

• VFD low-pass filter for AC voltage measurements under noisy loads

• PI/DAR timed ratio tests for insulation diagnostics

• Measures resistance, continuity, diode, frequency, capacitance, temperature, min/max values

• Wireless data logging and trend tracking via Fluke Connect app

• Adjustable inputs with protection; rugged and portable design
