Fluke GFL-1500 Solar Ground Fault Locator

The Fluke GFL-1500 Solar Ground Fault Locator is a frontline troubleshooting tool that helps quickly pinpoint active ground faults in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. It produces a traceable signal in the array, allowing for fast, intuitive, non-contact tracing directly to the fault location, cutting back on troubleshooting times and reducing exposure to electrical hazards.

The GFL-1500 replaces complex, manual diagnostics with an easy-to-follow trace signal, streamlining fault isolation. The three-piece troubleshooting system is designed to optimize technician workflow in the field, enabling faster and more confident fault resolution. 

The GFL-1500 utilizes FaultTrack Technology to detect active faults and generate a traceable signal through the fault path, enabling technicians to follow that signal from the transmitter through the faulted path to the precise point of failure.
