BK Precision 308A - Digital Insulation and Continuity Meter

Applications:

Why Test is Necessary?

• Insulation
  • Every electrical apparatus and installation needs to be safe for the user and for the equipment itself.
  • Electrical conductors of electricity need to be insulated from each other so that they do not create an electrical hazard or unnecessary consumption.
  • Poorly insulated circuits can create leakage current which can be dangerous and trip your GFCI, RCCB or ELCB.
  • Each country regulates levels at which the insulation levels are acceptable. Generally, Insulation resistance measurement should be done between each conductor and the earth, and between each conductor.
• Continuity
  • Checking the continuity of wires, complete circuits, connections, closure of contacts, circuit breakers, fuses, bounding resistance of connections, etc... are all very important to ensure wire integrity.
