10K-PI Insulation Diagnostic Tester

10K PI is an Insulation Diagnostic Tester having test voltage range up to 10KV, designed & developed indigenously at the state of the art R&D laboratory to conduct automatic insulation tests on high voltage equipment’s like Transformers, Cables, Bushings, Switchgears & Rotating Machines.

10K PI comes in two ranges of short circuit current of 3mA and 6mA. 10K PI is a microprocessor based instrument deploying the latest technology & very high speed data sampling to give correct, repetitive readings & quality performance under harsh electrical conditions. It has a wide insulation resistance range up to 50TΩ.

  • There manually selectable convince DC ranges for application
  • Cable and cable sheath testing up to 12 kV between metallic sheath / armoured and mass of earth.
  • Automatic sheath fault pre-location with high precision measuring bridge method.
  • Cable sheath fault pin pointing by pool of potential method.
  • Automatic discharging facility of cable under test, in case of power failure or after switching off.
  • Conversion of high-resistance faults in low-voltage cables.
  • Burn mode for conditioning the sheath fault.
  • It is extremely user friendly in obtaining the fault distance; it uses a micro-controller based fault distance calculator that enables the operator to get the pre-location measurements with precise accuracy.
  • Continues operation for extended period in case of pin-point difficult sheath faults.
  • Rugged construction and easy to carry on site.
