How to select the best insulation resistance tester?

1. Test Voltage

The first thing you’re going to need to think about when you want to choose an insulation tester is your job title. Once that’s ok, you’re one is ready to look at test voltage. E.g., if you’re a technician who is mostly into repair and maintenance, you would prefer an instrument with diagnostic capabilities that can compare different tests at different voltages.

2. Measurement Range

If you are working in the field of predictive maintenance, it’s essential to know how exactly your measurements change over time.
Power Source Regardless of the power source you’re using, the test is the same. Alkaline batteries (like AA), hand-cranks, and rechargeable batteries can all deliver the same voltage level one is looking for.

4. Voltage Detection

Any model should be able to detect unwanted voltage on the item under test, which is great. It’s up to you, though, whether you want a visual display on the monitor or an audible warning signal.

5. Detection

This is a question of personal preference and If you’re indecisive, look for some newer models that combine both capabilities in a single unit.

6. Guard Terminals One should consider the guard terminal to eliminate specific leakage components from your measurements.
There is an insulation tester for every budget from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Don’t get fooled by any specific price tag.
