FLUKE-1503 Insulation Resistance Meter

The Fluke 1503 Insulation Resistance Meter is a rugged and easy-to-use tool ideal for residential and commercial electricians. It supports insulation testing from 0.01 MΩ to 2000 MΩ using two selectable test voltages (500 V and 1000 V). The device includes live circuit detection that prevents testing when voltages exceed 30 V for added safety. With a built-in remote test probe, the 1503 simplifies repetitive testing and enhances user convenience. It also features AC/DC voltage measurement up to 600 V, low-ohms continuity testing with 200 mA, auto-discharge of capacitive voltage, and a large backlit display for better readability in all environments.

Key Features:

• Insulation Resistance Testing: Measures from 0.01 MΩ to 2000 MΩ using 500 V and 1000 V test voltages.
• Live Circuit Detection: Automatically disables insulation testing if terminal voltage exceeds 30 V.
• Continuity Testing: Provides lo-ohms testing with a 200 mA short-circuit current.
• AC/DC Voltage Measurement: Measures from 0.1 V to 600 V with ±(2% + 3) accuracy.
• Safety Rated: CAT IV 600 V overvoltage protection for enhanced operational safety.
• Remote Test Probe: Included probe allows easier operation in tight or repetitive test scenarios.
• Backlit Display: Large, clear screen for reliable readings even in dim workspaces.
• Battery Efficiency: Performs at least 1000 insulation tests or 2500 resistance tests on 4 AA batteries.
