Fluke 283FC 1500V Solar Kit
Fluke designed the 283FC 1500V Solar Kit to give solar professionals a practical set of tools for electrical testing in high-voltage DC environments. The digital multimeter measures DC voltage up to 1500 V and carries CAT III 1500 V and CAT IV 1000 V ratings. It also measures AC voltage, AC/DC millivolts, continuity, resistance, capacitance, frequency and apparent power.
For current testing, the kit includes the a283FC True-RMS wireless current clamp, which measures AC/DC current up to 60 A. Users can take current measurements from a distance through its wireless connection and fit the clamp around conductors without making direct contact with live wires. Visual and audio polarity indicators, a user-defined limit gauge and the multimeter readiness self-check help users carry out quick checks and identify faults during installation and maintenance work.
The Fluke 283FC 1500V Solar Kit also works with Fluke Connect and Fluke Cloud storage. Users can transfer measurements to a smartphone or tablet, view readings in real time, store results for later analysis and combine data into reports. Fluke also includes TL175-HV TwistGuard silicone test leads, a magnetic hanging strap and a premium carrying case, creating a complete kit for testing solar PV arrays, inverters, combiner boxes and other supported electrical applications.
