Pocket-sized insulation resistance meter with five test voltages up to 1000 V
Testing the insulation of low-voltage cables, motors and circuits only takes a 1000 V meter that applies the right test voltage to each circuit and, with the same instrument, verifies the continuity of protective conductors. The AMIC-10 tests at 50, 100, 250, 500 or 1000 V with ranges per EN 61557-2 reaching 10 GΩ at 1000 V and an accuracy of ±(3% m.v. + 8 digits), discharges the object automatically at the end and measures continuity with more than 200 mA per EN 61557-4, in an IP67 housing rated CAT IV 600 V.
AMIC-10 key data
- Test voltages: the AMIC-10 applies 50, 100, 250, 500 or 1000 V, shows the actual test voltage throughout the measurement and is protected against accidentally measuring live objects.
- Insulation ranges (EN 61557-2): 50 kΩ…250 MΩ at 50 V, 100 kΩ…500 MΩ at 100 V, 250 kΩ…2 GΩ at 250 V, 500 kΩ…5 GΩ at 500 V and 1 MΩ…10 GΩ at 1000 V.
- Insulation accuracy: ±(3% m.v. + 8 digits) up to 999.9 MΩ and ±(4% m.v. + 6 digits) from 1 to 10 GΩ at 500 and 1000 V, with resolution from 0.1 kΩ.
- Continuity of protective conductors: 0.10…1999 Ω per EN 61557-4 with a current >200 mA, ±(2% m.v. + 3 digits) up to 199.9 Ω and compensation of the test-lead resistance.
- Low-current resistance: 0…1999 Ω with a current of 5 to 15 mA, ±(3% m.v. + 3 digits) and an acoustic warning with green LED below 30 Ω.
- Capacitance and voltage: capacitance from 1 nF to 9.99 µF measured during the insulation test itself, and AC/DC voltage from 0 to 600 V (45…65 Hz) with ±(2% m.v. + 6 digits) up to 299.9 V.
- Safety and format: double insulation per EN 61010-1, CAT IV 600 V, IP67 and 220 × 100 × 60 mm, powered by four AA alkaline batteries or Ni-MH rechargeables.
Advantages
Five test voltages
Insulation resistance at 50, 100, 250, 500 or 1000 V, with the actual test voltage shown throughout the measurement and protection against accidentally measuring live objects.
Three-wire measurement
