Description
The IR5051 is a compact, lightweight, high-voltage insulation resistance tester capable of outputting up to 5 kV. Its unique measurement technology enables stable measurements of up to 10 TΩ. In addition, the IR5051 is capable of testing the insulation resistance of solar PV systems during power generation, and has a CAT III 2000 V safety rating to allow testing of 2000 V PV systems.
In addition to a normal insulation resistance measurement mode, the IR5051 also features a specialized mode for measuring PV insulation resistance.
Effectively measures 1500 V solar PV systems and is prepared to accommodate systems up to 2000 V as technology advances.
Key Features
- Measure solar PV system insulation resistance safely and accurately while generating
- Measure insulation of high-voltage equipment (such as transformers, cables, and motors)
- Wide testing voltage range, up to 5000 V from 250 V DC
- Wide measurement insulation range, up to 10 TΩ
- Automatically calculated and displayed insulation diagnostics (PI, DAR, and DD)
- Data memory functions increase your work efficiency by eliminating human errors from manual reporting.
- Selectable Interface Compatibility: Offers both wireless and USB connectivity options.
- Compact and lightweight, equipped with an IP65-rated carrying case.
