Built for large machines

The AMIC-10K1 measures insulation resistance up to 40 TΩ with any test voltage between 50 V and 10 kV — in 25 V steps up to 1000 V and 50 V steps above — and test currents of 1.2, 3 or 5 mA. The twoor three-wire method, test leads up to 20 m and protection against live objects suit it to transformers, motors, generators and high-voltage cables.

Complete insulation diagnostics

The meter records the T1, T2 and T3 times for absorption coefficients from 1 to 600 s and delivers the polarization index (PI), the dielectric absorption ratio (DAR), step-voltage tests (SV) and the dielectric discharge (DD). Damage location by burnout, leakage current and capacitance measurement during the test and a digital filter for noisy environments complete the diagnosis.

Main features

  • Continuous indication of insulation resistance or leakage current.
  • Automatic discharge of the object capacitance after each test.
  • Continuity of protective connections per EN 61557-4 with >200 mA.
  • DC and AC voltage measurement from 0 to 750 V.
  • Memory with descriptions of points, sites and clients; USB and Bluetooth.
  • Backlit 5.6-inch LCD with graphs; optional Bluetooth mini keyboard.

Applications and safety

Applications

  • Insulation testing of power transformers, motors and generators.
  • Singleand multi-core high-voltage cables.
  • Capacitors, switchgear and other substation equipment.
  • Measurements in environments with high electrical noise.

Safe and self-sufficient

Rated CAT IV 600 V (CAT III 1000 V) with double insulation to EN 61010-1 and IEC 61557, the AMIC-10K1 runs from the 90-265 V mains or from its battery packs with built-in fast charger, measures the temperature of the object with an optional probe, and its case reaches IP67 when closed — ready for the substation and for the field.

The results stored in the meter become PC reports and live graphs on a mobile device.

Software & applications

Real-time resistance and current graphs in the mobile application during the test

Each result is saved with its own name and a comment at the end of the measurement

Reading and reports on the PC

The free PC reading software downloads the results stored in the memory of the AMIC-10K1 through the USB port or the Bluetooth link, keeps them organised by clients, sites and measuring points, and prints them or exports them to popular formats on any Windows computer. The stored history is compared with the current results to follow the ageing of the insulation and plan maintenance before a failure occurs.

AMIC Mobile application

The AMIC Mobile application connects a phone or tablet to the meter and shows the measurement as it happens: resistance and current graphs in real time, elapsed time and the diagnostic indices as they are computed. The test is started and stopped remotely — from another room or from a vehicle in bad weather — and each result is saved with a name, a comment and the GPS position of the measuring point.

What the software provides

  • Complete download of the meter memory to the PC.
  • Reports organised by client, site and measuring point.
  • Export to popular formats for further analysis.
  • Remote control and live graphs on the mobile device.
