Fluke 1663

Product overview: Fluke 1663 multifunction installation tester

The Fluke 1663 multifunction installation tester is the best choice for hardworking professionals.

The 1663 installation tester provides the full functionality and advanced measurement capabilities that professional installers need. It is compact and lightweight (less than 1,3 kg) and features a padded neck and waist strap for more comfortable transport. Its operation is intuitive and straightforward for workers of all levels, so you can start using it immediately for quick and efficient checks in compliance with all standards. Additional functions such as switchable automatic start for RCD and loop tests, as well as self-test, save time and provide greater confidence in results.

Check DC RCD protection devices of type A-EV or RDC-DD in electric vehicle charging stations

Perform checks on DC protection devices of electric vehicle charging stations using the VAR mode of type B RCD (smooth DC currents), which generates test currents for type A-EV or RDC-DD RCDs according to IEC 62955 (6/60/200 mA and ramp <2 to ramp 6 mA).

This allows quick and easy testing of DC monitors of 6 mA at charging points and can be used with the Fluke FEV100 or FEV300.

Software compatibility

The Fluke 1663 is compatible with TruTest™, Fluke software designed to simplify reporting and data management in traditional electrical systems. Whether you are testing fixed wiring installations or electrical devices in an office, verifying repairs in a workshop, or conducting annual inspections, proper data management is essential to produce reports that clients can easily understand.

TruTest™ software allows you to quickly and easily import measurement results directly from your test instruments, manage files transferred from instruments, or manually enter data depending on your needs.
