Technical Data
The Fluke 1550B is a digital
megohmmeter capable of testing switchgear, motors, generators and cables at up to 5000 V
dc. It can be used for a wide
range of tests: from simple spot
checks to timed tests and
breakdown tests. Measurement
storage and PC interface software make it ideal for preventive maintenance. Heavy-duty
leads, probes and alligator clips
fit in the custom carrying case,
for a rugged field testing kit.
Standard test voltages of
•
250 V, 500 V, 1000 V,
2500 V and 5000 V
Additional test voltages
•
available in 50 volt steps
from 250 to 1000 volts,
100 volt steps from 1000 to
5000 volts
Measures up to 1 Tera-Ohm
•
Warning voltage function
•
alerts the user that line voltage is present and gives the
voltage reading up to 600 V

after calibration at operating temperatures of 0
°C to 35 °C. For operating temperatures outside
the range (-20 °C to 0 °C and 35 °C to 50 °C),
add +/- .25 % per °C, except on the 20 % bands
add +/- 1 % per °C.
