General Description
The MIT520/2 is a microprocessor controlled 5 kV insulation tester offering
measurement capability of up to 15 TΩ. The instrument performs
automatic tests and has data storage and data retrieval facilities.
Polarization index and dielectric discharge tests are performed
automatically, and test duration and voltages can be adjusted according to
user preference for these tests. A step voltage test can be performed
automatically, with a default voltage of 1 kV, and test duration of 5 minutes.
It is possible for the user to set different voltages and test durations for the
step voltage test.
The MIT520/2 can be powered from the mains supply or by its own
internal rechargeable battery, which provides for at least 6 hours of
continuous testing with a 100 MΩ load. A battery level indicator on the
LCD display indicates battery capacity. Connecting power to the mains
supply connector will automatically charge the battery whether the
instrument is switched ‘on’ or ‘off ’, except during testing. A high level of
internal isolation allows the instrument to be used while the unit is
supplied from the mains. An internal battery management system switches
the instrument off after ten minutes of inactivity. If the battery approaches
a very low state of charge the instrument turns itself off, and mains power
must be applied before the instrument can be used again. Recorded test
results and settings will not be lost when the instrument is switched off.
A comprehensive LCD display shows resistance, current, capacitance, time
constant, voltage, timer measurements, and figure of merit measurements
such as polarisation index.
