Fifteen teraohms under control

The AMIC-5010 measures insulation resistance from 50 kΩ to 15 TΩ per IEC 61557-2, with any test voltage from 50 to 1000 V in 10 V steps and from 1 to 5 kV in 25 V steps. Test currents of 1.2 or 3 mA charge large objects quickly, and after every test — completed or interrupted — the object is discharged automatically.

Measures where others give up

Unique algorithms recognise the nature of the voltage present on the object: mains voltage blocks the test, voltage induced by electromagnetic fields does not, so measurements succeed beside live HV equipment. Digital filters of 10, 30 and 60 s stabilise the reading, interference immunity reaches 500 V, and leads up to 20 m can be used. PI, DAR, Ab1, Ab2, SV and DD complete the diagnosis.

Main features

  • Adjustable measuring time up to 99'59'' with T1, T2, T3 timing.
  • MIC-5010 continuity testing per EN 61557-4 with >200 mA.
  • Capacitance and leakage current measured during RISO.
  • 990 memory cells (11 880 records); USB and Bluetooth.
  • Adjustable limits for RISO and RCONT results.
  • Supplied leads rated 11 kV; clips and probes 5.5 kV.

Applications and safety

Applications

  • Transformers, motors and generators in power plants and industry.
  • Medium-voltage cables and substation switchgear.
  • Measurements next to live busbars and HV lines.
  • Periodic diagnostics with stored results and PC reports.

Safe and self-sufficient

Rated CAT IV 600 V (CAT III 1000 V) with double insulation, the AMIC-5010 runs from its LiFePO4 13.2 V battery — at least 1000 measurements per EN 61557-2 — or from the 90-260 V mains. The case reaches IP67 closed (IP40 open), works from -20 to +50 °C up to 3000 m, and weighs about 6 kg at 390 × 308 × 172 mm.

A mobile application follows the test live; the PC software archives every record.

Software & applications

The documentation software manages reports, inspectors, test points and downloaded data

The measurement on the phone

The mobile application connects to the AMIC-5010 over Bluetooth and shows resistance and leakage current graphs in real time while the test runs; each result is saved with its own name and comment, and the operator keeps a safe distance from the object under voltage.

Records on the PC

The 11 880 records of the internal memory are downloaded over USB or Bluetooth into the free PC reader software, which organises them by client, site and point, exports to popular formats and prints the measurement documentation.

What the software provides

  • Live graphs of the measurement on an Android device.
  • Results named and commented at the point of test.
  • Download of the memory over USB or Bluetooth.
  • Structured archive and printing on the PC.
