Frequently asked questions

What are the insulation test voltages available on this meter?

The meter offers four Insulation Resistance test ranges with voltages of 500V, 1000V, 1500V, and 5000V.

How is the Polarization Index (PI) calculated?

The PI Test calculates the ratio of the resistance measurement after 10 minutes to the resistance measurement after 1 minute.

What happens if a live circuit voltage greater than 30V is detected?

Live circuit detection prevents the insulation test from running if a voltage > 30 V is detected.
