Electrical Insulation Resistance Tester

Megohmmeters also known as insulation testers or megger testers measure resistance to determine current leakage and identify faulty insulation.

Electrical insulation resistance tester.

The megger insulation tester is a small portable instrument that gives you a direct reading of insulation resistance in ohms or megohms. Insulation cannot be perfect in the same way that something cannot be frictionless. For low voltage installations i e. Insulation can become worn damaged or break down due to moisture or age.

The measured resistance indicates the condition of the insulation between two conductive parts. The megger insulation tester is essentially a high range resistance meter ohmmeter with a built in direct current generator. An infinite resistance would be the perfect result but no insulator is perfect so the higher the reading the better. Take advantage of the 1507 full feature set to easily and quickly perform advanced insulation resistance testing.

An insulation tester also called an insulation resistance tester is an electrical testing device that is commonly used to evaluate the condition of insulation around wires in an electrical system.

The fluke 1507 is a versatile compact handheld insulation tester for advanced industrial and electrical insulation testing. This means that there will always be a little bit of current travelling through.

Its multiple test voltages make it the ideal tool for many troubleshooting commissioning and preventative maintenance applications. For good insulation the resistance usually reads in the megohm range. Fluke s digital insulation resistance testers provide reliable results whether you work on motors generators cables or switchgear.
