Kit saves 15% on electrical test tools purchase

Electric motor, drive, cables and switchgear troubleshooting and preventative maintenance kit offers a 15% saving over the purchase of the test tools separately.

Fluke, the world leader in compact professional tools, has introduced a kit aimed at rapid troubleshooting and preventative maintenance for motors and variable frequency drives.

Containing a recently introduced combined insulation tester/digital multimeter (DMM), a current clamp and a phase rotation indicator, all in a rugged case, the kit offers a 15% saving over the purchase of the test tools separately.

The new Fluke 1587MDT Advanced Motor and Drive Troubleshooting Kit includes everything needed for identifying electrical problems on motors, cables and switchgear.

The Fluke 1587 Insulation Multimeter combines insulation test measurements, from 0.01MW to 2GW at test voltages in five steps from 50V to 1000V, with the capability of a high end DMM.

For adjustable speed motor drives, it features an integral selectable low pass filter which blocks unwanted high frequencies to provide accurate and stable measurements of AC voltage and frequency.

The 1587 features a large display with bright backlight and is supplied with a remote probe to enable one-handed insulation testing via a trigger on the probe handle, as well as a plug-in K-type thermocouple temperature probe.

It has CAT III 1000V/CAT IV 600V overvoltage rating.

The Fluke i400 Current Clamp provides accurate AC current measurement, between 1A and 400A, without breaking the circuit.

Its compact design offers measurement on conductors up to 32mm in diameter with a similar CAT III 1000V/CAT IV 600V overvoltage safety rating.

The recently introduced Fluke 9040 Phase Rotation Indicator, which completes the kit, provides a large LCD display of all three phases to easily determine field rotation and phase sequence.

Working within a 40V to 700V range, it is powered from the circuit under test so does not require a battery.

The fitted leads have test probes with variable clamping ranges, ensuring safe contact even in industrial sockets.

The new Fluke 1587 MDT comes with all three meters and user manuals in a rugged, hard case and is available at a recommended price of GBP 489 from Fluke authorised wholesalers and distributors.
