Analog Insulation Tester / Resistance Meter, 1000V/500V/250V

Sanwa PDM1529S Analog Insulation Tester / Resistance Meter

The Sanwa PDM1529S is a robust and reliable analog insulation tester designed for professionals who need to accurately measure the insulation resistance of electrical lines, circuits, and equipment. Featuring three selectable DC test voltages (1000V, 500V, and 250V), this instrument is a versatile tool for a wide range of diagnostic and maintenance tasks. Its user-friendly design, highlighted by an easy-to-read analog scale, ensures that measurements are both simple to perform and clearly understood.

Key Features

• Multi-Range Voltage Testing: Easily switch between three rated test voltages (DC 1000V, 500V, 250V) to suit various testing requirements, from low-voltage circuits to high-power installations.
• High Resistance Measurement: Capable of measuring insulation resistance up to 2000MΩ at 1000V, allowing for comprehensive testing of even highly insulated components.
• Clear & Readable Analog Display: The instrument features a large, well-defined scale with a minimum number of graduations, making it easy to read measurements accurately at a glance.
• Dual Voltage Measurement: In addition to insulation testing, the PDM1529S can measure both AC and DC voltages, up to 600V AC and 60V DC, adding to its versatility as a diagnostic tool.
• Automatic Discharge Function: Safety is paramount. After each test, the auto-discharge function automatically dissipates any residual charge stored in the circuit under test, protecting both the user and the equipment.
• User-Friendly Operation: A simple push-switch allows for either one-shot or continuous measurement, giving you full control over your testing procedure. An internal battery check function ensures the tester is always ready for use.
• Built for Safety: The PDM1529S is certified to IEC61010-1 CAT.III 600V safety standards, guaranteeing its suitability for use on high-energy circuits.
• Durable Construction: With an IP20 rating, the meter is protected against solid objects larger than 12mm, ensuring durability in typical field and workshop environments.
