1. INTRODUCTION The MT574 5kV Diagnostic HV Insulation Tester features a large LCD screen with a grey backlight display, along with advanced functionalities such as data storage, data access, alarm, and automatic shutdown. Additionally, it is equipped to measure DC voltage, AC voltage, absorption ratio, and polarization index of DC voltage.

Ÿ Pay attention to words and symbols on the tester Ÿ Ensure that the tester and accessories are in good condition before use. There should be no damages or broken parts in the test leads or insulation. Ÿ During measurement, DO NOT touch bare or uninsulated conductors or circuits under measurement.
5.2. Battery Voltage Check After powering on, if the LCD shows a low battery voltage sign " " it indicates that the battery is running low. Please charge timeously. Sufficient battery power will ensure measurement accuracy. 5.3. DC Voltage Test WARNING: Input instrument DC voltage cannot exceed 1000V.
2. During the current test, the units of mA are shown in Figure 5-2, and the units of nA, uA, and pA are shown in Figure 5-1. 5.6. Capacitance Test WARNING: Pay attention to standard operation during the capacitor test. Check whether the capacitor is charged before the test.
2. The capacitance measurement mode has 4 gears and requires manual shift testing. The first range is 10nf-100nf, the second range is 100nf- 1000nf, the third range is 1uf-10uf, and the fourth range is 10uf-50uf. During the test, the value greater than or less than a certain value needs to be manually switched to the corresponding gear.
6.1. Precautions for testing high insulation resistance. WARNING: After the high-voltage insulation material is added with DC voltage, the current passing through the sample is very small, and it is very susceptible to the influence of external interference, causing large test errors. The higher the measured resistance value, the longer the measurement time.
test is completed, press and hold the key to switch the displayed current value, and then press the key to switch back to the resistance value. 7. GUARD USE OF PROTECTIVE WIRES When the insulation resistance of the cable is measured, the leakage current of the covered surface passes through the interior of the insulator and the current converges, resulting in an error in the insulation resistance value.
absorption ratio (DAR). As a judgement of the insulation performance, both the polarization index (PI) and the absorption ratio (DAR) indicate the change in the insulation resistance over a period of time after the measured object withstands the measured voltage. 8.2.
LCD, "60:15S" as the absorption mode 15 second mode, and "60:30S" as the absorption mode 30 second mode. Small numbers do not show anything for the insulation resistance measurement mode. 4. One end of the test lead (black) is connected to EARTH on the instrument and the other end is connected to the earth end of the circuit under test.
absorption ratio (or polarization index) decreases after the insulation is wet (see Figure 1), so it is an important indicator of whether the insulation is affected by moisture. It should be pointed out that sometimes the insulation has obvious defects (for example, the insulation breaks down under high pressure), and the absorption ratio or polarization index value is still good.
value or the insulation resistance value is less than the alarm critical set value and the alarm function is turned on, the instrument flashes the " " symbol and issues a continuous alarm sound. The maximum value of the DC voltage alarm setting is 900V, the maximum value of the AC voltage alarm setting is 700V, and the maximum value of the insulation resistance alarm setting is 9999MΩ.The following figure shows an example ("<"...

STEP ADJUSTMENT RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT VOLTAGE After powering up, you can modify the voltage value by pressing key at a step value of 50V below the 5KV voltage range, or by pressing key at a step value of 5V.
