2. The Model 3015A Digital Insulation

Resistance Tester

The Model 3015A Digital Insulation Resistance Tester is a lightweight and portable megohmmeter

designed for high voltage insulation resistance tests. You can use this device to measure the insulation

resistance of insulating materials, motors, cables, transformers, and electrical installations. This device

gives you real-time results in ohms or megohms that can be stored or exported for future analysis.

It has strong anti-interference and is indispensable for the following:

• Electrical systems

• Electric telecommunications

• Substation testing applications

• Metrology and computer rooms

• Oil fields

• Industrial enterprises

• Electromechanical installation and maintenance

The Model 3015A Digital Insulation Resistance Tester is an industrial tester designed to provide

years of dependable service. This device is powered by an advanced lithium-ion battery and can perform

hundreds of insulation resistance tests from a single charge. It has selectable functions that are

programmable for measuring DC voltage, AC voltage, DC current, insulation resistance (IR), capacitance,

polarization index (PI), and dielectric absorption ratio (DAR).

The insulation resistance (IR) quality of electrical systems deteriorates over time due to environmental

conditions and the presence of electrical and mechanical stress. The performance and life of electrical

systems depend on the insulation conditions. That is why it is vital to check the IR of electrical systems

periodically. The Model 3015A Digital Insulation Resistance Tester generates a high voltage across

the insulator to measure resistance. It safeguards electrical systems from abrupt current leakage in

wires that lead to accidental damage, blown circuits, or electrical shocks.

2.1 Overview

2.2 How the Model 3015A Digital Insulation Resistance

Tester works

The Model 3015A Digital Insulation Resistance Tester generates a high voltage (V) that creates

electron flow across the insulator. It measures the flowing current (I) and calculates the insulation

resistance value (R) according to the formula, Resistance = Voltage/Current (R=V/I).
