Adjustable Testing Voltage Insulation Resistance Meter - Up to 5 kV

This versatile insulation resistance meter offers the flexibility of adjusting the testing voltage, reaching a maximum of 5 kV. It serves as an invaluable tool for evaluating the health of electrical insulation in a variety of settings, including residential structures, industrial facilities, railway networks, and other commonly used installations. With its notable attributes - impressive performance, minimal battery consumption, battery charging capability during measurements, user-friendly design, and high degree of protection against external elements - this meter is exceptionally well-suited for maintenance teams. It proves its worth in tasks such as assessing motors, cables, street lighting systems, as well as during the construction and upkeep of photovoltaic systems.

This meter is an ideal recommendation for installers engaged in telecommunications and electric power systems, where scrutiny of insulation sleeve or sheath resistance (UN ≤ 30 kV) is mandated, applying voltages of up to 5 kV for a duration of 5 minutes.

Features

The meter offers the capability to gauge insulation resistance through adjustable test voltages, reaching up to 5000 V. During cable testing, it ensures the automatic discharge of their load upon the completion of the measurement.

With the MIC-5001, users can ascertain insulation resistance by applying a steadily increasing voltage with a slope of 1 kV/s, conforming to EEE Std 95TM-2002. This functionality, known as RampTest, is distinct from the maximum test voltage approach. The gradual and consistent application of test voltage safeguards insulation against abrupt "electrical stress." This method can unveil flaws that might remain hidden in conventional RISO resistance measurements. Should the tested insulation be compromised or faulty, RampTest aids in determining its maximum withstand voltage. This feature is particularly beneficial for evaluating rotating machinery or surge arresters.

The meter integrates an AC and DC voltmeter, capable of assessing voltages up to 750 V. Its expansive memory empowers the device to store nearly 12,000 measurement outcomes. By downloading the Sonel Reader software from the manufacturer's website, users can analyze these results and present them in graphical form. For instance, this can involve depicting current or resistance values over time.

Capabilities

A notable benefit of this device lies in its capacity for prolonged operation after a single battery recharge. Electricians engaged in testing tasks that involve repeated objects or frequent intervals can carry out their work without concern of battery depletion before completion. Furthermore, while conducting measurements, users have the option to recharge the device using an external power source, such as a 12 V/2 Ah power bank.
