Fluke 1507 Insulation Resistance Tester

I have a number of Fluke meters and this is a great addition. Easy to use . Stable and reliable readings. Could use a second set of smaller alligator clips for tight spots.

Alot of problems I face as a heating and cooling tech (HVAC tech) is to explain to my customer so they understand. In our industry a confused mind says no, so this make explaining a problem compressor easy. I show them it's good or I show them it's bad. Builds alot of trust with my customer and know I dont know how I even worked without it. You would think I got paid by them on how much I recommend this product.

Another great Fluke product. I had basic knowledge of using a "megger" but no idea what the cutoff was for acceptable insulation resistance values. I love the easy to read digital resistance display of this meter. With just a little research on electrical talk websites, I determined that a rule of thumb is 1 megaohm per 1,000 volts plus 1 megaohm for safety margin. Example: 480 volts being .5 megaohm plus 1 megaohm = 1.5 megaohm cutoff. In my experience so far, this has proved to be true. as I have yet to see a motor tripping overloads with more than .5 megaohms resistance to ground. Back to the meter, I love this thing! A little intimidating at first but very simple to use. I love the lower test voltages for sensitive equipment, yet having 1kv for 480v equipment. ... MoreAnother great Fluke product.

Batteries died quick but I get them free so no big deal. It comes with detachable alligator clips, just wish it came with a case but they are available for not much $. 5 stars.

Good meter, well built, remote test lead is great. Actual size of meter is close to 9"x4"x2". Seller was great. I am giving only three stars because the alligator clips are less than satisfactory for a fluke product. And fluke is too cheap to give you a case. How much money do I have to pay before I get a case?

Good product fit instrument like original

As described made my old meter look new again

Great Tester

I bought this meter along with a cheaper megohmmeter to install a heated floor. Thie Fluke meter measured the insulator resistance up to 10 gigaohms whereas the cheaper (EnnoLogic) meter only went up to 2 gigaohms (which was high enough to test the floor heating wires). However, the EnnoLogic meter was easier to use and also offered a broader variety of test options as is typical of a multimeter.This meter is designed for a professional electrician. I returned it to Home Essentials Direct and kept the EnnoLogic meter, which cost almost half as much.

I have always loved Fluke products...from my first exposure to them in the U.S. Navy over 25 years ago to my present job in underground mining electrical work. I have used other electrical test equipment from many different companies, none compare to the overall quality of Fluke. Insulation resistance testing is a part of every electrician's job (except for the conduit jockeys and wire monkeys). Over the years, it has proven beneficial to perform Polarization Index (PI) and Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR) testing to ensure the insulation is in good condition.

Insulation resistance plus more

This Insulation Tester can do the test at several test voltages. It can also measure volts and ohms for other tests. It can measure small resistance such as in a grounding continuity test or a ground bond test.There is no crank to turn like the one on my old tester. I'm very happy with this tester.

needed a megger and was trying to get the best for the money. this is it. Not as elaborate as a 1587 buthas what I need and that is a megger. that is all I wanted this for I have other meters for other needs andit is a fluke so quality is great.
