Fluke 283 FC/PV Solar Digital Multimeter and Wireless Current Clamp

The Fluke 283 FC Digital Multimeter combined with the a283 FC True-RMS Wireless Current Clamp offers unmatched safety, accuracy, and convenience for solar photovoltaic (PV) professionals and technicians working in high-voltage DC environments, including PV arrays, wind power, electric railways, and data centers. Rated CAT III 1500 V / CAT IV 1000 V, the 283 FC and its accessories enable safe testing of DC systems up to 1500 V, allowing you to perform accurate and reliable measurements without compromising safety. The set includes high-quality Staubli MC4 test leads for secure connections to PV modules or strings, as well as TL175-HV silicone test leads rated for voltage, millivoltage, resistance, continuity, or capacitance measurements. A bright backlit LCD and illuminated keypad enhance usability in both direct and low-light conditions, while the magnetic hanging kit and durable carrying case increase convenience and protect your investment.

The 283 FC multimeter provides highly accurate voltage measurements and supports current readings up to 60 A AC/DC with the wireless a283 FC clamp. Visual and audio polarity indicators prevent wiring errors, and the user-defined limit gauge allows quick go/no-go decisions during repetitive measurements. Additionally, the multimeter readiness self-check confirms the device’s calibration, battery life, and test lead functionality before use, providing extra confidence on large-scale PV sites.

The a283 FC wireless current clamp enhances safety by allowing AC/DC current measurements up to 60 A without contacting live wires. Its thin jaw design ensures access to tight spaces and combiner boxes, while wireless connectivity transmits data directly to the 283 FC or a smartphone, enabling remote monitoring. Voltage and current can be measured simultaneously, with VA power automatically calculated and timestamped, eliminating manual calculations and ensuring accurate data for troubleshooting and preventive maintenance.

Measurements can be logged and saved internally with time- and date-stamping, and Fluke Connect™ compatibility allows seamless transfer of data to smartphones, tablets, or the cloud. Users can trend, monitor, and analyze measurements, combine data from multiple Fluke tools, and collaborate in real time using ShareLive™ video calls or email. These features make the Fluke 283 FC and a283 FC clamp a complete frontline troubleshooting solution, enhancing safety, efficiency, and accuracy for solar and industrial applications.
