Enhanced Insulation Resistance Testing with Fluke 1503 Review

If you need dielectric strength measurements, this tool is a must. Insulation test or high Meg/Gigaohm measurement is the tool you need.

Worked great until about a year later it started giving incorrect readings. Called Fluke and they want $250 for a recalibration and they say the service is out of warranty. For me, a $450 tool should last a year. I've only heard good things about Fluke, but unfortunately this will be my first and last.

Everyone in the electrical industry needs one of these. Have you ever had a job that gave you trouble for years? Does an electric motor fail every few years? can you never find a problem Well, that will solve everything. No guessing games. He'll find a short in a wire or motor that you didn't even know about. Get it and learn how to use it and you won't regret it.

As a retired industrial electrician, finding the right tool for the job isn't always easy. I have used all Fluke tools in the past and they were the best on the market. This article is no exception. I would highly recommend it to all active and retired electricians. If you don't have the right education and experience, you're going to get into trouble. If you need a megohmmeter but don't have a lot to do, this is cheaper but just as effective to use. The product is worth its money.
