High voltage tester, Insulation tester & Null Meter

  • Measures high voltages in electrical systems and equipment.
  • Used for testing insulation integrity, verifying voltage levels, and troubleshooting electrical faults.
  • Types include:
    • Megger: Measures insulation resistance with high DC voltages.
    • Hipot tester: Applies high AC or DC voltages to test insulation breakdown strength.

Typical Specifications:

  • Voltage Range: 500 V to 100 kV or higher
  • Accuracy: 0.5% to 5%
  • Resistance Range: 1 MΩ to 10 TΩ
  • Additional Features: Test current measurement, insulation leakage detection, digital display, data logging
  • Insulation Tester

    Description:

    • Specifically measures insulation resistance to assess its condition and prevent electrical hazards.
    • Essential for maintaining electrical safety in power systems, appliances, and wiring.
    • Types include:
      • Digital insulation testers: Provide numerical readings and advanced features.
      • Analog insulation testers: Use a needle-based display for basic readings.

    Typical Specifications:

    • Voltage Range: 50 V to 10 kV
    • Resistance Range: 1 MΩ to 2000 GΩ
    • Accuracy: 2% to 5%
    • Additional Features: Insulation fault detection, memory storage, auto-ranging

    Null Meter

    Description:

    • A highly sensitive instrument for measuring small voltages or currents by achieving a “null” or zero reading on a galvanometer.
    • Often used in bridge circuits for precise resistance, impedance, or inductance measurements.

    Typical Specifications:

    • Sensitivity: 1 μV or less
    • Resistance Range: 1 Ω to 1 MΩ
    • Accuracy: 0.1% to 1%
    • Additional Features: Internal calibration, adjustable sensitivity, multiple ranges

    Important Safety Note:

    • Always follow appropriate safety guidelines and use certified equipment when working with high voltages.
    • Consult qualified professionals for guidance on specific testing procedures and equipment selection.
