Introduction; Contacting Fluke - Fluke 1577 User Manual

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).
Insulation Multimeters
The Meter measures or tests the following:
AC / DC voltage and
current
Resistance
Voltage and current
frequency
Temperature (Model
