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.
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.
- An End-to-End Solution that finds faults from inverter to panel, using a non-contact receiver or clamp to detect and localize active faults — not just whether a fault exists
- Enables a faster, safer workflow by significantly reducing troubleshooting time through an easy-to-trace signal, minimizing both the number of electrical hazards encountered and exposure to them, and providing clear audio-visual cues to simplify fault location in large, complex solar arrays
- Optimized for technician efficiency, the system minimizes time spent locating faults by enabling single-connection tracing without the need for plan set maps, helping experts move quickly and confidently from diagnosis to resolution
