This unit

The Fluke 1587 T Insulation Multimeter combines insulation testing and true-RMS digital multimetry in a single handheld instrument. It measures insulation resistance from 0.01 MΩ to 2 GΩ across five test voltages (50 V, 100 V, 250 V, 500 V, 1000 V) while providing full multimeter functionality for voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, frequency, and temperature measurements. The unit integrates live circuit detection, auto-discharge in less than 0.5 seconds, and smoothing-capable readings, making it ideal for preventative maintenance and troubleshooting across industrial and telecommunication environments.
