Solar Ground Fault Locator

Revolutionize Fault Location, Maximize Solar Production

The Fluke GFL-1500 Solar Ground Fault Locator is a frontline troubleshooting tool that helps technicians quickly pinpoint active ground faults in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. It works by producing a traceable signal in the array, allowing for fast, intuitive, non-contact tracing directly to the fault location. This innovative approach eliminates the frustration of time-consuming, brute-force troubleshooting and reduces unnecessary exposure to electrical hazards. 

In addition to improving safety and reducing downtime, this innovative solution redefines how technicians locate active ground faults in solar PV systems. By replacing complex, manual diagnostics with an easy-to-follow trace signal, the GFL- 1500 streamlines fault isolation, helping teams restore system operation quickly and effectively. 

The GFL-1500 Ground Fault Locator is a three-piece troubleshooting system designed to optimize technician workflow in the field, enabling faster and more confident fault resolution. This gives site managers greater assurance in system performance and uptime. The GFL-1500 system consists of the GFL-1500 Transmitter, GFL-1500 Receiver, and GFL-1500 Signal Tracing Clamp.

Solar Digital Multimeter and Wireless Current Clamp

Unmatched safety and convenience for solar professionals

The CAT III 1500 V/CAT IV 1000 V True-RMS Fluke 283 FC Digital Multimeter and a283 FC True-RMS Wireless Current Clamp set the new standard for technicians in DC environments up to 1500 V. Whether you’re working with a utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) array, wind power, an electric railway, or a data center, the Fluke 283 FC has been engineered to enhance safety and increase productivity while giving you accurate, reliable, and repeatable results.

The 283 FC/PV includes CAT III 1500 V DC safety-rated accessories so you can work confidently in higher voltage environments without compromising safety. Staubli MC4 test leads allow you to quickly make reliable, secure connections to modules or strings to test DC voltage up to 1500 V DC. TL175-HV CAT III 1500 V/CAT IV 1000 V rated silicone test leads give you more flexibility when testing voltage, millivoltage, resistance, continuity, or capacitance on inverters, combiner boxes, PV arrays, or individual PV modules. A bright backlit LCD screen and illuminated keypad make it easier to work in both direct and low-light conditions. The included magnetic hanging kit frees up your hands, and the custom hard carrying case protects your investment during transport.

Additional features:

• Highly accurate voltage measurements for precise frontline troubleshooting
• Current measurements up to 60 A AC/DC for safely troubleshooting individual strings of modules with greater accuracy (when using a283 FC wireless current clamp)
• Visual and audio polarity indicators help prevent accidental module wiring issues
• User-defined limit gauge helps you make quick go/no-go troubleshooting decisions
• Unique multimeter readiness self-check helps ensure your meter is ready to test
• Save and log measurements to internal memory and view them on your mobile device via Fluke Connect™
