Fluke 1507 Insulation Tester
Introduction:
The Fluke model 1507 and model 1503 are battery-powered insulation testers (the Tester). Although this manual describes the operation of both Models 1507 and 1503, all illustrations and examples assume use of model 1507.
These Testers meet IEC 61010 standards. The IEC 61010-2-030 standard defines three measurement categories (CAT II to IV) based on the magnitude of danger from transient impulses. CAT IV Testers are designed to protect against transients from the primary supply level (overhead or underground utility service).
The Tester measures or tests the following:
- AC / DC Voltage
- Earth-Bond Resistance
- Insulation Resistance
