UNI-T UT515B 10KV Insulation resistance tester
The UNI-T UT515B is a handheld, battery-powered insulation resistance tester capable of generating up to 10 kV for on-site diagnostics and safety verification of high-voltage equipment. Encased in a rugged, double-insulated enclosure, it features a large, backlit LCD that displays real-time insulation resistance, test voltage, leakage current, and elapsed time. Users select one of six output voltage ranges (500 V, 1 kV, 2.5 kV, 5 kV, 10 kV) and fine-tune the output in 10 % increments. During testing, the instrument continuously monitors the applied voltage and automatically discharges the device under test upon completion to prevent residual charge buildup.
A built-in timer supports polarization index (PI) and dielectric absorption ratio (DAR) measurements, while an internal memory stores up to 9999 test records for later analysis. Data can be transferred to a PC via USB, where accompanying software enables further review and reporting. Powered by a 14.8 V, 5200 mAh lithium-ion battery, the UT515B provides approximately 15 minutes of continuous high-voltage output per charge, minimizing downtime in field inspections.
Safety interlocks prevent testing on live circuits, and status indicators alert operators to overvoltage, low battery, or test completion. Designed for use in power utilities, telecommunications, meteorology stations, oil fields, and industrial plants, this tester combines portability, data logging, and automated safety functions in a single instrument.
