Product Description
The Fluke 1507 digital megohmmeter is an insulation tester with five test voltages—50, 100, 250, 500, and 1,000V—for measuring insulation resistance to 10GΩ to indicate the condition of windings or cables in motors, switchgears, electrical installations, and other insulated equipment, and it also measures low-resistance to 20kΩ and AC and DC voltage to 600V, disabling insulation testing when a voltage greater than 30V is detected. The PI/DAR (polarization index/dielectric absorption rate) function automatically calculates PI and DAR, which are measurements over time that give a truer indication of insulation condition than single-point measurements. For repetitive testing, the compare function allows an insulation resistance value to be selected and lights an indicator when a measurement is greater than the selected value. When a resistance measurement is complete and the test button is released, residual voltage is automatically discharged from the circuit under test. The lock button enables extended measurement sessions. The meter has an LCD with a backlight for visibility in low light that automatically turns off after two minutes. It is rated for category (CAT) IV installations to 600V, which covers equipment at the origin of the installation, such as electricity meters and primary over-current protection equipment. The unit has a low-battery indicator that signals when the batteries need to be replaced and automatically turns off after 10 minutes of non-use. It comes with four AA batteries, a remote probe for testing in tight spaces, a set of test leads, a set of test probes, a set of alligator clips, and instructions. Megohmmeters are commonly used for electrical maintenance and testing in industries such as HVAC, transportation, manufacturing, mining, and utilities, among others.

.Megohmmeters, also called insulation testers, are electrical test meters that measure resistance to the flow of current in an electrical component or circuit and check the continuity of an electrical circuit to detect electrical problems such as degraded insulation and improper circuit connections in equipment, wiring, and power supplies. Resistance is an indicator of the overall condition of the device being tested. Megohmmeters have an internal power supply, such as a battery or a capacitor, which supplies a test voltage to a circuit or component that is turned off. Test leads are connected in a series to the tester and the circuit or device being tested. The meter calculates the difference in voltage between the leads and measures the resistance. Most megohmmeters have two terminals for test lead attachment. The two-terminal, or two-wire, measurement method includes the resistance of the circuit or device being tested and the resistance of the test leads, and generally provides sufficient accuracy for measuring large values of resistance in insulation testing applications.
Fluke Corporation manufactures electrical testing tools and software for industrial and commercial applications. The company, founded in 1948, is headquartered in Everett, WA.

A Real Eye - Opener
By Harold B. Mandel
This is a sophisticated piece of test equipment that pays for itself in sort order if you use it to demonstrate things like low impedances from motor leads to motor frames and from transformer windings to transformer frames.In mining underground, everything is always wet and greasy, and people are hosing stuff off because of the gob buildup. When you deal with heavy duty electric motors, even the MSHA-approved packing glands don't keep all the moisture out forever, and the combination of moisture and dirt inside motors and control panls makes for ground leakage that spells death to solid-state panelboard controllers.You measure a motor that shows less than 100 meg-ohms leakage to ground and it is on the way to burning up not only itself but what runs it. Better to rebuild a $5,000.00 motor than rebuild a $5,000.00 motor and a $67,000.00 panelboard with a $3,000.00 transformer inside it.
