Product overview: Fluke 283 FC/PV Solar Kit with TLPV1 and TLPV2 Test Leads
Go deeper into PV troubleshooting with confidence.
The FLK-283FC-TLPV Solar Digital Multimeter Kit is designed for solar professionals who need advanced electrical troubleshooting capability on high-voltage photovoltaic (PV) systems. Built around the Fluke 283 FC/PV Solar Digital Multimeter and paired with TLPV1 and TLPV2 CAT III 1500 V MC4 test leads, this kit delivers a complete solution for accurate, safe, and efficient solar diagnostics.
Engineered specifically for modern PV environments, the 283 FC/PV supports measurements up to 1500 V DC, making it ideal for testing modules, strings, combiner boxes, disconnects, and inverters. The included TLPV MC4 lead sets enable direct measurements at MC4 connections, helping technicians validate voltage and troubleshoot issues quickly in the field.
Unlike clamp-first workflows, the FLK-283FC-TLPV is optimized for deeper electrical diagnostics and detailed system analysis. Features such as built-in self-check functionality and limit gauge support help improve measurement confidence and streamline troubleshooting workflows. The kit is well suited for commissioning, maintenance, fault isolation, and routine inspection of residential, commercial, and utility-scale solar systems.
Both the multimeter and test leads carry CAT III 1500 V safety ratings, providing a consistent high-voltage testing solution designed for demanding solar applications. The rugged Fluke design also helps ensure reliable performance in harsh jobsite environments.
Whether troubleshooting intermittent faults, validating system operation, or performing preventive maintenance, the FLK-283FC-TLPV provides the precision, safety, and flexibility solar technicians need to keep PV systems operating at peak performance.
