Description
A shutdown week leaves little time for swapping tools. With a Fluke 1587 FC multimeter rental, each technician carries one instrument for insulation resistance and for everyday voltage and current checks. So the team moves faster from motor to motor, and the records stay in one format.
Two instruments in one case
On the insulation side, you can select test voltages of 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 V. The meter reads insulation resistance up to 2 GΩ. It also runs timed PI and DAR ratio tests and applies temperature compensation. As a result, this year’s readings compare fairly with last year’s records.
On the meter side, it offers full true-RMS functions plus a low-pass filter for VFD outputs. In addition, Fluke Connect sends results to a phone, so motor histories build up without paper forms.
Where a rented 1587 FC earns its keep
- Motor and cable insulation surveys before an annual shutdown.
- Commissioning of new switchgear in FDI factories.
- String checks on solar farms and rooftop arrays.
- Hand-over tests between a contractor and the plant owner.
- Predictive maintenance rounds that track trends over time.
Rent a set, not just one
Insulation campaigns often run for two weeks with several crews. Therefore a Fluke 1587 FC multimeter rental for every crew costs far less than buying tools that sit idle the rest of the year. Tell Lost in HCM how many crews you plan, and the quote can cover the whole team.
Good practice with a rented insulation tester
Insulation tests put high voltage on the circuit. So always isolate and lock out the equipment first, then prove it dead. Choose the test voltage from your asset standard or the motor maker’s guide, not from habit. After each test, let the meter discharge the circuit before you remove the leads.
Delivery and return checks
When the box arrives, inspect the test leads for cracks and check the probe tips. Also compare the calibration certificate with the serial number on the back. Before return, export your readings from the app and replace any batteries you drained.

Common questions
What is the highest insulation test voltage?
The top setting is 1000 V. Lower settings of 50, 100, 250 and 500 V suit lighter cables and electronics.
Can it measure motor drive outputs?
Yes. A built-in low-pass filter helps it read the output of variable-frequency drives.
Can I rent several units for one shutdown?
Yes. Ask Lost in HCM for a batch quote that matches your crew count and dates.
