HT Instruments PV-ISOTEST szigetelésvizsgáló 100 MΩ (1010990)

Insulation faults and poor continuity are the hidden killers of photovoltaic installations, causing costly downtime and safety hazards. The HT Instruments PV-ISOTEST tackles this head-on by combining insulation resistance testing up to 2000 MΩ and low-resistance continuity checks in one rugged, IP65-rated tool. It is built for solar professionals who need fast, reliable verification of PV strings, inverters, and electrical panels in the field.

Who is it for

PV installers, maintenance technicians, and electrical inspectors who perform commissioning and periodic testing of photovoltaic systems. It is also suitable for general electrical contractors working on CAT III 1000V and CAT IV 600V installations.

Tips

For accurate insulation measurements on PV modules, ensure the array is disconnected from the inverter and that the test voltage is appropriate for the module's maximum system voltage. The IP65 rating allows use in dusty or wet environments, but avoid submerging the instrument. Use the USB interface to download stored measurements for reporting and analysis.
