Revolutionize Fault Location, Maximize Solar Production

Features

End-to-end troubleshooting solution:

• This full troubleshooting solution combines the power of a fault detecting transmitter with a signal tracing receiver and clamp to help you quickly and easily detect and locate active ground faults.

Reduce troubleshooting time:

• The GFL-1500 streamlines fault detection in large solar arrays by enabling technicians to quickly locate issues using just a few connections and non-contact tracing—no need for detailed site maps or lengthy testing procedures.

Work safely:

• CAT III 1500 V/CAT IV 600 V rated GFL-1500 Transmitter and GFL-1500 Receiver, with a GFL-1500 Clamp rated for use on insulated conductors up to 1500 V. Use a central test location and non-contact tracing to eliminate repeated disconnections and unnecessary exposure to electrical hazards.

Precision Solar Ground Fault Detection

• With the Fluke GFL-1500 Solar Ground Fault Locator, your technicians can detect, troubleshoot, and resolve ground faults in solar PV systems with unparalleled precision—ensuring your solar troubleshooting remains efficient and productive, so your energy output stays at its peak.
• Fast fault location: Non-contact signal tracing pinpoints active ground faults in solar PV systems.
