Fluke FLK-1577 [11/48] Insulation multimeters

1587/1577

Insulation Multimeters

Introduction

The Fluke Models 1587,1587T, and 1577 are

battery-powered, true-RMS insulation multimeters

(hereafter "the Meter") with a 6000-count and a 3 ¾ digit

display. Although this manual describes the operation of

all models, all illustrations and examples assume use of

Model 1587.

These meters meet CAT III and CAT IV IEC 61010

standards. The IEC 61010 standard defines four

measurement categories (CAT I to IV) based on the

magnitude of danger from transient impulses. CAT III

meters are designed to protect against transients in Fixed

equipment installations at the distribution level; CAT IV

meters are designed to protect against transients from the

primary supply level (overhead or underground utility

service).

The Meter measures or tests the following:

• AC / DC voltage and

current

• Diodes (Model 1587)

• Resistance • Continuity

• Voltage and current

frequency

• Capacitance (Model

1587)

• Temperature (Model

1587)

• Insulation testing
