Fortive’s Fluke 1500 V Multimeter and Wireless Clamp Streamline UK Solar PV Testing
FTV•Fortive’s Fluke unit provided its 283 FC True-RMS CAT III 1500 V multimeter and wireless clamp to UK solar installer Advanced Renewable Power, enabling faster, safer high-voltage PV testing. Tools connect to smartphones via the Fluke Connect app, automating voltage, current and VA measurements to reduce manual logging errors and accelerate diagnostics.
1. Deployment to Advanced Renewable Power
Fluke provided its 283 FC True-RMS CAT III 1500 V digital multimeter and a283 FC wireless current clamp to UK-based Advanced Renewable Power, addressing the installer’s need for high-voltage measurements and reducing manual data recording during commercial solar PV installations. The tools replaced generic testers to ensure accurate readings in high-voltage environments.
2. Key Features and Workflow Improvements
The multimeter delivers precise voltage measurements up to 1500 V while the wireless clamp measures current and calculates VA power in real time. Both devices transmit data to Android and iOS via the Fluke Connect app, automating measurement logging, enabling live and historical data access, and streamlining maintenance workflows.
3. Strategic Implications for Fortive
This deployment highlights Fluke’s position as a leader in renewable energy test equipment and supports Fortive’s growth in the commercial solar sector. As demand for commercial PV installations rises in the UK, successful integration of these tools may drive further orders and bolster Fluke’s market share.
