Video: AMIC-30

Video transcript

What the AMIC-30 measures, how it is connected for two-lead, three-lead, socket and continuity tests, and what it adds to the AMIC-10. A power line, a control circuit and a telecommunication pair are each tested at their own voltage. The AMIC-30 sets any test voltage from 50 to 1000 V, so every object is tested exactly as its standard requires. voltages from 50 to 1000 V in 10 V steps, insulation up to 100 GΩ, absorption indices from up to three-timed readings, and a memory of 990 cells.

The three test sockets are on top, RISO-, the Guard-G, and RISO+. The rotary switch has the fixed voltages, a free position from 50 to 1000 V, the other functions, and the memory. START runs the test. It comes with red and blue test leads, and a black shielded lead, probes, and a crocodile clip, a case with straps, for AA batteries, and the calibration certificate. A socket outlet adapter, a floor and wall probe, and five-meter leads are options.

the AMIC-10, the 30 adds a free test voltage in 10 V steps, a range 10 times higher, a timer with absorption indices, leakage current, socket tests through the adapter, a memory, and a wireless link. Every insulation test follows the same routine. Make sure the object is dead. Turn the switch to the test voltage. Connect the leads. Hold start, or lock it with enter. Read the result, and wait for the automatic discharge before removing the leads.

a two-lead test on a cable, the black lead from RISO-, socket goes to one conductor, and the red lead from RISO+, to the other. The far end stays open and protected against contact. Set up to three times, between 1 and 600 seconds. The meter reads the resistance at each time and calculates two absorption coefficients, DAR and PI, or AB1 and AB2. It also shows the leakage current and, at the end, the capacitance of the object. With three leads, the guard socket G removes surface current from the result.

For the insulation between the windings of a small motor, the blue lead goes from G to the housing, the red lead to one winding, and the black lead to the other. For socket outlets, the adapter with a socket plug fits the meter sockets and tests the pairs LN, LPE, and NPE in one run, at 500 volts. The pairs to test are chosen in the settings. For protective conductors, first compensate the leads, switch to our zero, short them, and press start.

Then, in our cot, the red lead goes to the main earthing terminal and the black lead to the exposed part. The test starts by itself. Results are stored in ten banks of 99 cells, one bank per site and one cell per point, and sent over a wireless link to the PC software for archiving, printing, and export. The low current resistance and voltage functions complete the meter.

Measuring Category 4 at 600 volts, an IP67 housing, minus 10 to 50 degrees, and about 600 grams on 4AA cells. Installations in dwellings, buildings and public premises, cables, motors and transformers in workshops and small industry, and telecommunication, control, and IT circuits tested at low voltage.
