SANWA · Insulation Testers
MG500
IP54 digital tester, 125/250/500 V to 4000 MΩ, live-line alarm.
- 125–500 V
- 4000 MΩ
- IP54
The SANWA MG500 is the lower-voltage sibling of the MG1000, with 125, 250 and 500 V test voltages to 4000 MΩ in the same IP54 body. It shares the live-circuit inhibit at 30 V, bar graph, data hold and 200 mA continuity test, and adds a 400 kΩ range. Bhumika quotes this model for Canada.

Features
- Three test voltages: 125 / 250 / 500 V; up to 4000 MΩ
- Live-circuit detection (30 V AC/DC minimum) inhibits the test with buzzer and ALARM indicator
- Bar graph like an analog meter
- Automatic data hold
- Large backlit display
- IP54 dustproof/splashproof body
- Continuity test (200 mA)
- Auto power save; auto discharge
