Facts about Insulation Tester


When doing projects such as home renovation, it is important to use insulation tester. The reason is that your overall safety is ensured by using such device. Prior to adding soundproofing material, major repair projects where electrical system quality is not known, and installing wallpaper, insulation testing should be done. Leaking current would result if there is insufficient insulation. Obviously, leaky current is the common culprit of hazardous events such as fire.

Insulation testers are one of the easy-to-use technology products; it can be used by a novice. This product is usually performed even without the help of a technician or an expert.

This product works with the application of DC voltage to the insulation system. The current that flows through the DC voltage is measured. Then, the results of the test would tell if there is or nothing wrong with your home electrical system. Current leak is accurately detected with this device.

There are several kinds of testers in which the very common ones are portable one. They come in 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1000 volts. Of course, you must not overlook the principle of parallelism; you have to use the right tester for the right system. This means that if you are going to test an electrical system with high voltage, you have to use testers that are capable of holding such current; if you are going to test a low voltage system, you have to use low voltage testers.
