An instrument for measuring extremely high electrical resistance is the auto-ranging digital megohmmeter. This instrument measures electrical resistance in the megaohm or more range. This instrument is utilized as a measurement tool to examine electrical insulation in machinery, electronic gadgets, medical equipment, and other electrical installations.
This auto-ranging megohmmeter measures insulation resistance up to 2000MΩ. Choice of 250, 500, or 1000VDC test voltages. The large backlit dual display indicates test voltage output and insulation resistance. Low resistance, continuity, and AC/DC voltage measurement functions. Other features include automatic discharge at the end of the test, a protective holster with a stand, a power lock-on feature, and a data hold. Complete with test leads, carrying case, and 6 AA batteries.
The measurement range of the Autoranging Digital Megohmmeter is automatically determined based on the electrical resistance value of the measuring medium. This very accurate device’s digital display accurately displays the electrical resistance value. It may also save the measured data by connecting to a computer.
Measuring the electrical resistance of various insulations in electrical systems, machinery, electronic equipment, medical devices, etc. is one use for the Autoranging Digital Megohmmeter instrument. This tool may be used to find and correct electrical insulation flaws.
