Best Multi-Meter/Megger Combo
on December 17, 2016
Posted by: Korey
from Newport News, VA, United States
Length of ownership:1 year or longer
I have been an electrician for over four years since I left high school in 2012. I have used many instruments in the past four years as a marine electrician. This is probably one of the best all-around instruments for Megging and checking continuity that I can think of. It also has so many other features such as checking temperature diodes current and voltage.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Upgraded from my 1587
on October 29, 2016
Posted by: SEaDInc
from California, United States
Length of ownership:1 year or longer
I'm an industrial and commercial electrician. I originally purchased a 1587 as part of the 1587-MDT (Motor Drive Troubleshooting) Kit, with the 400A current clamp, thermocouple, and 9040 Phase Rotation Indicator. I often troubleshoot and commission motors, and the 1587 was my go-to DMM. It's now been replaced by the 1587FC
The added features of Fluke Connect, the automated temperature correction when conducting IRT (Insulation Reisitance Tests), and automated PI (Polarization Index) and DAR (Dialectric Absorbtion Ratio) tests have simplified and streamlined my troubleshooting procedure. Documentation of troubleshooting and of pre-start motor commissioning or re-commissioning now is clear, and simple. The graph of an IRT for a borderline motor winding really helps me explain to a customer the problem, or potential problem, with a motor. And, it's saved customers money when I can document a motor's or compressor's health where other technicians have played the "it's a bad motor" card.
The most innovative use I found for my 1587FC is in tuning a 0-10VDC PID (Poportional gain, Integral gain, Derivitive gain) pressure control loop. The realtime graphing function with Fluke Connect allowed me to see the resultant pressure of the VFD's response in realtime as I adjusted the P, I, and D values of the VFD. And the value of documentation is priceless.

The 1587 is the only meter I need to perform everything from measuring continuity of low voltage signals to testing insulation breakdown levels on high voltage AC and DC automotive systems.

Excellent Meter

Length of ownership:1 year or longer
This is an excellent meter for the price point. It gives you the ability to test motor insulation, among many other features, temp, amps, and volts to name a few. This unit gets heavy use and hasn't failed me once

Had one for a while now. A remarkably versatile easy to use meter - a real time saver with so much functionality in one meter - one of the best fluke products ever.

Great Meter with Bluetooth
on December 9, 2016
Posted by: Electric Dave
from Indiana, United States
Length of ownership:6 months
I replaced my 1587 meter with the 1587FC about 6 months ago and I like the Bluetooth connection feature. I can connect the meter at one location and using my cell phone read the output when I am troubleshooting up and down the line.

Length of ownership:3 months
I have purchased Fluke equipment in the past, so it was only natural to go to Fluke again when I wanted an Insulation tester. I have been extremely happy with the construction, durability, and ease of use. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a high quality tester.

So Very Reliable

from Banff, AB, Canada
Length of ownership:1 year or longer
I purchased the 1587 to be our shop meter. It is never easy to find as people use it and want to keep it. Coupled with the Fluke amp clamp, this meter has everything we need for our maintenance shop.
