5.2 Insulation resistance
The Insulation resistance measurement is performed in order to ensure safety against
electric shock through insulation. It is covered by the EN 61557-2 standard. Typical
applications are:
Insulation resistance between conductors of installation,
Insulation resistance of non-conductive rooms (walls and floors),
Insulation resistance of ground cables,
Resistance of semi-conductive (antistatic) floors.
See chapter 4.1 Function selection for instructions on
key functionality.
