Introduction - Fluke 1550C User Manual

Introduction

The Fluke 1550C and 1555 Insulation Testers (hereafter "the Tester") are high-
voltage insulation testers to validate general circuits, such as switchgear,
motors, and cables.
The Tester features:
Large liquid crystal display (LCD)
Six preset test voltages: 250 V, 500 V, 1000 V, 2500 V, 5000 V, 10,000 V
(1555 only)
Programmable test voltages: 250 V to 10,000 V (50/100 V steps)
Resistance measurement: 200 k to 2 T
Polarization Index (PI)
Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR)
Ramp mode that linearly increases (100 V/s) the applied test voltage
Test timer and storage for test results with user-defined ID tag
Breakdown voltage indication
Rechargeable lead-acid battery
Auto shutoff after 30 minutes of inactivity
Infrared (IR) port for downloading test data
PC software (supplied)
The Tester meets EN 61557 Parts 1 and 2; and EN 61010-1, CAT IV 600 V
Pollution Degree 2 standards. CAT IV equipment is designed to protect against
transients from the primary supply level, such as an electricity meter or an
overhead or underground utility service.
