UNI-T UT502A digital isolationsmotståndstestare

Electrical insulation degrades over time due to moisture, heat, and mechanical stress, leading to dangerous leakage currents and potential equipment failure. The UNI-T UT502A Digital Insulation Resistance Tester provides a reliable, portable solution for verifying insulation integrity in motors, cables, transformers, and switchgear. With five selectable test voltages up to 1000V and a measurement range reaching 5.5GΩ, this meter delivers accurate diagnostics for preventive maintenance and safety compliance.

Tips

For accurate insulation testing, ensure the circuit is de-energized and discharge any capacitive loads before connecting the tester. Use the PI and DAR functions to assess insulation quality over time and detect moisture or contamination issues. Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears to maintain measurement accuracy.
