Can’t decide between digital and analog? Have both!

The Fluke 1520 MegOhmMeter is a handy insulation resistance tester that also measures voltage and checks connections with its lo-ohms function.

A proven workhorse, the Fluke 1520 can make up to 5,000 insulation resistance tests, more than any other insulation tester, without changing batteries.  A dual analog/digital display makes it easy to use.  Thanks to its superb accuracy, endurance, and handheld size, the Fluke 1520 is a long-standing tool of choice for demanding plant and utilities work.

As a safety feature, the Fluke 1520 will switch automatically to a voltage tester only when voltage is greater than 30V (ac or dc).
