Evaluate the trends, eliminate the doubt
The Fluke 1550C insulation resistance tester offers digital insulation testing up to 5 kV, making them ideal for testing a wide range of high voltage equipment including switchgear, motors, generators and cables.
Fluke insulation testers can now conduct the entire range of test voltages specified in IEEE 43-2000 with a best in class, 3 year warranty and CAT IV 600 V safety rating. With measurement storage and PC interface, the 1550C is the perfect tool for preventative or predictive maintenance programs designed to identify potential equipment failures before they occur.
The Fluke Connect™ mobile app is an easy to use, advanced wireless system for capturing and trending anomalies for troubleshooting, commissioning and preventative maintenance of insulation resistance applications.
Built with Fluke Connect™. See it. Save it. Share it.
The Fluke Connect™ mobile app saves time and increases productivity when you use your 1550C insulation tester. Capture readings up to 15 meters away on your smartphone, then use ShareLive™ video call to share test results with team members anywhere else in the world in real time. Graph readings over time to establish baseline, capture intermittent events. Add text and/or voice notes while you push or pull readings, images and notes directly to and from work orders.

| Electrical Specifications | ||
| The tester’s accuracy is specified for one year 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. | ||
