Fluke SVS-500, Shaft Voltage Set and Magnetic Base for MDA-500

The Fluke SVS-500 Shaft Voltage Set is an add-on accessory designed for measuring shaft voltages on motors and rotating machinery when used with the Fluke MDA-500 Motor Drive Analyser. Built with a magnetic base for secure placement, the SVS-500 allows technicians to capture shaft voltage levels that may contribute to bearing wear, electrical discharge machining (EDM) or premature mechanical failure. Its construction supports stable electrical contact during both troubleshooting and condition monitoring.

Salient Features and Benefits of Buying the Fluke Shaft Voltage Set with Magnetic Base for MDA-500

• Magnetic base provides firm mounting on motor housings or metal surfaces during operation.
• Conductive tip ensures proper contact with rotating shafts for reliable voltage capture.
• Helps identify EDM-related issues and bearing stress caused by stray electrical energy.
• Suitable for routine maintenance, drive commissioning and fault investigation.
• Supports measurement in industrial environments with variable-speed drives and high electrical noise.

Practical Usefulness for Maintenance Teams

The SVS-500 helps technicians quickly verify whether damaging shaft voltages are present, enabling earlier intervention and reducing the risk of bearing failures. The set integrates seamlessly with the MDA-500 workflow, ensuring that voltage data is recorded in sync with other motor-drive parameters for more complete diagnostics.

Versatile Uses of the Kit

• The SVS-500 is typically used in environments where variable-frequency drives, including those in manufacturing plants, HVAC systems, process facilities, and industrial machinery lines, drive motors.
• It assists with identifying problematic shaft currents, confirming grounding effectiveness and supporting predictive maintenance routines aimed at preventing bearing damage and extending motor life.
