  1. How to Use a Digital Insulation Tester?

  2. An Introduction Digital Insulation Tester is used to check electrical circuits for faults. The wire gauge (diameter) would depend on the current distance traveled along the wire. Its required as the wire must carry enough current to counteract the effects of resistance. Digital Megger Insulation Testersacutely read voltage in the micro-ohm range and examine the improper connections in electrical circuits.

  3. Steps To Use Digital Insulation Tester • Plug the different colored leads (black, red, and green) into the defined colored terminals of the tester. Once you turn on the tester, you will get the display initiates to set the test voltage. With the help of voltage adjustment buttons, you can scroll through the range of voltages. You can now observe the displayed resistance range reading of the selected voltage. • Go on to the -Start switch and join the lead clips of the tester when prompted. If testing a wire or object, fix the black lead clip to the wire's insulation, red lead to the hot wire of the circuit, and the green lead to the grounding plug or rod; once the leads are plugged, press the "Test" button to begin the test.

  4. Steps To Use Digital Insulation Tester (Cont.) • The tester will then move through the test functions and, on finishing, will display the insulation resistance in ohms. Compare the reading to confirm if it is in the desired resistance range. • Press the End -function and wait for the display to ensure the voltage has been released from the meter, and post that, disconnect the tester lead clips. • Remember not to touch or disconnect the leads until the meter has confirmed the voltage has been discharged, or you risk being shocked.

  5. Conclusion Insulation testing should begin at the time of installation and should be checked throughout the lifetime of the equipment. Determining and working on any issue before equipment failure occurs is a must. Regular scheduled preventative maintenance can help in the proper working of the equipment. Through a digital megger insulation tester, we can do testing and data collection, predict possible system failures and take earlier action to prevent them.
