March 9, 2024 at 12:23 pm #489751 stratfordgirlParticipant This is versatile and never let me down: https://www.fluke.com/en-gb/product/electrical-testing/insulation-testers/fluke-1577 March 9, 2024 at 2:06 pm #489752 stratfordgirlParticipant No, mine is the 1587, which has additional functions auch as capacitance, apparently no superseded by the “connected” 1587 FC: https://www.fluke.com/en-gb/product/electrical-testing/insulation-testers/fluke-1587-fc March 9, 2024 at 5:01 pm #489753 deltraParticipant They look good,but how do you do insulation test on machine with electronic on off switch rather than push switch? March 9, 2024 at 8:56 pm #489754 stratfordgirlParticipant In electronically-switched appliances, the switching is usually single-pole, either live or neutral, so in most cases, insulation faults should be visible when tested at the appliance plug, provided both live-earth and neutral-earth are tested March 10, 2024 at 12:35 pm #489755 deltraParticipant thanks for that,looks like ill be buying a fluke:cool: March 11, 2024 at 10:03 pm #489756 Hollytree_TechnicalParticipant I also use the Fluke 1587 and it hasn’t ever let me down – had it for nearly 15 years now and only replaced the leads and batteries.
