About Digital Insulation Tester 15KV IT
The TAURUS OHMEGA IT is a highend insulation analyser and is specifically designed to operate in a highlyinduced power station. TAURUS OHMEGA IT is a easy to use portable systemcapable of testing insulation resistance of transformers, motors, generators,cables, switchgear, capacitors, powerlines, busbars etc. All electrical assetsin the power station and heavy industries are insulated from earth. Animperfection in the insulation can be detriment and can cause damage toelectrical asset and the safety of people. Insulation is subject to manyelements that can cause it to perform at a less-than acceptable level.Excessive heat or cold, moisture, vibration, dirt, oil and corrosive vapors canall contribute to deterioration. For this reason, routine insulation testing isnecessary.
Advanced Display and Measurement RangeThe 15KV IT Insulation Tester features a large digital LCD for easy reading, even in low-light conditions thanks to the backlight. It measures insulation resistance across a wide range-from 0.1 M up to an impressive 500 G-providing precise results suitable for both industrial and utility work. The device is equipped with a quick sampling rate of two readings per second, so you can work efficiently and accurately.
Multiple Output Voltages and Enhanced SafetyWith six selectable output voltage steps (500V to 15,000V), the tester supports a variety of high-voltage testing requirements. It complies with IEC 61010-1 and is rated CAT IV 1000V for maximum safety. Included high-voltage shielded leads, automatic discharge, overload, and short-circuit protection offer robust safeguarding during operation, making the tester reliable for demanding electrical environments.
Durability and PortabilityConstructed from shockproof and dustproof ABS material, the 15KV IT tester is built to endure tough jobsite conditions. It includes a heavy-duty protective case for safe transport and storage. Weighing approximately 6.5 kg, and powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery or AC adaptor, it is suitable for both field and laboratory use, ensuring convenience wherever insulation testing is needed.
