MG5000
High-voltage tester to 5000 V and 1 TΩ with DAR and PI.
- Up to 5000 V
- 1 TΩ
- DAR + PI
The SANWA MG5000 is a high-voltage digital insulation tester with five test voltages from 250 V to 5000 V and insulation resistance up to 1 TΩ. It calculates dielectric absorption ratio (DAR) and polarisation index (PI), detects live circuits, discharges automatically and has an IP54 rating. Bhumika quotes this model for Canada.
