Insulation Resistance Measurement Measuring Insulation Resistance CAUTION To avoid electric shock, turn off the measuring line breaker. Example: When measuring the insulation resistance between the circuit and the ground Turn off the MEASURE key. Set the rotary switch to a test voltage of 50 V to 1000 V.
Insulation Resistance Measurement Turn off the MEASURE key with the test leads connected to the measuring object. The last measured values and are displayed and starts discharging. (p. 3 7) • Do not switch the function to other function or rated voltage when the measurement is in progress.
Discharging Function 3.6 Discharging Function After measurements are completed, discharge the measuring object. When objects with capacitance component are measured, a charge equivalent to the rated measurement voltage remains in the object that may cause electric shock. Even when the solar panel is discharged after measurement, a generated voltage from the solar panel is detected that may not be cleared.
Voltage Measurement 3.7 Voltage Measurement This instrument can measure the AC voltage of commercial power. The instrument can check to ensure that the measuring object is not live before measuring insulation resistance. WARNING • Never press the MEASURE key while measuring voltage.
Connect the red test lead to the line side of the breaker. Check the value after the indicator has stabilized. Negative Voltage Notification Function (Model IR4055) You can check whether P and N are connected in reverse while measuring the open voltage of solar battery string.
Low Resistance Measurement (Model IR4056, IR4057, IR4058) 3.8 Low Resistance Measurement (Model IR4056, IR4057, IR4058) WARNING Do not measure under a live circuit condition. CAUTION If active circuits are connected to the measuring object circuit in parallel, the impedance and transient current of the parallel circuit could cause measurement errors.
