Fluke 1503 Insulation Resistance Meter - FLU1503

Fluke 1503 Insulation Resistance Tester Handles All The Basic Insulation Testing Needs!

The Fluke 1503 is a great choice for basic residential & commercial electrical insulation testing. This rugged, compact tool fits in the palm of your hand. The 1503 is the same form factor as the Fluke 1507 but with a few less features. You can count on it to handle the most common tests at a most affordable price. Additional features, like the remote probe, reduce the time needed to perform repetitive testing.
