Fortive Corp Stock Price, News & Analysis

Fluke Corporation (NYSE:FTV) has launched the GFL-1500 Ground Fault Locator, an innovative tool designed to help solar technicians quickly and safely locate ground faults in solar systems. The device uses non-contact tracing technology to reduce the need for multiple disconnections and individual string testing.

Ground faults, which accounted for 4.0% of workplace electrical fatalities from 2011-2023, have been a persistent challenge in utility-scale solar installations. The GFL-1500 is compatible with 1500V PV systems and combines a signal-producing transmitter with non-contact detection capabilities to pinpoint fault locations efficiently. This innovation comes as solar generation saw a 30% global growth last year, highlighting the increasing need for efficient maintenance solutions.
