PAD56
5 KV AC / 6 KV DC HIGH POTENTIAL TESTER WITH MEGOHMMETER
- Lightweight and ruggedly constructed for years of field use
- Units feature easy to read analog meters and user-friendly controls
OVERVIEW
Description
The PAD56 tester is capable of producing voltages as high as 6 kV DC (5 kV AC) into a variety of insulated electrical apparatus. The unit will measure leakage current flow through (or insulation resistance levels of) the ground insulation of the test sample. Leakage current as low as .01 microamperes DC (.1 milliamperes AC) and as high as 5000 microamperes DC (5 milliamperes AC) can be read directly from the testers front panel meter. Insulation resistance values up to 1,000,000 megohms may also be read directly at test voltages of 2.5 or 5 kV DC (a factor scale for insulation resistances at other test voltages is also provided).
