Hi Guys,
How does a Fluke meter work when measuring insulation resistance? Does it apply a certain test voltage and measure the return current to calculate the resultant resistance value? Looking through the Fluke 1587 specs, I see that "output" voltage on the meter is up to 1000Volts. How can that be? The Fluke meter uses (4) AA type batteries - how can it generate such a high voltage? Would 1000V be the maximum voltage that the meter is designed to measure?
Thank you for your feedback.
