Installation testers keep up with standards
Fluke 1650 series multifunction installation testers comply with a recent update to the IEC61557 standard.
Tester trade-in deal launched
Fluke 1650 series multifunction installation testers verify the safety of electrical installations in domestic, commercial and industrial applications.
One change in the testing requirement within the 17th Edition is changes to insulation test limits for SELV and PELV circuits.
It is therefore essential that installers ensure that their test equipment is ready for use with the new regulations.
Fluke 1650 multifunction installation testers are ready for the 17th edition.
The Fluke 1650 series is easy to operate, with a large, backlit display with a wide viewing angle.
It has a ergonomic design and a padded neck strap to free the hands of the operator.
The Fluke 1650 series comprises three models.
The Fluke 1651 meets all the requirements of Part P.
It performs tests of residual current activated devices (RCDs), in addition to the primary tests of voltage, frequency, continuity, insulation resistance, loop impedance, PSC and PFC tests.
It uses loop measurement technology to prevent electronic and passive type RCDs from tripping during earth-loop testing, whilst also giving highly consistent and repeatable results.
The Fluke 1652 and 1653 can perform time-saving automatic trip time and tripping current level (ramp) tests of residual current activated devices (RCDs) - both DC-sensitive and delayed-response types.
The 1653 allows the storage of results which can be uploaded later to a PC for software analysis and measurement of earth resistance and phase sequence. Request a free brochure from Fluke (UK) ...
