Megohmmeter

  • Product No:GenRad 1863
  • Manufacturer:IET LABS, Inc. 

IET Labs off ers a choice of GenRad Megohmmeters to fit most high-resistance measurement needs.

Although these two instruments are similar in appearance and accuracy, their operating ranges differ to match diff ering needs in the laboratory and production area.

The IET Labs 1863 and 1864 Megohmmeters are manufactured using the same design and construction as the original GenRad megohmmeters.

Features:

• Easy to use

• Rugged portable carrying case

• Charge current up to 5 mA

• High-accuracy: 0.01% (100 ppm)

• 200 test voltages: 10 Vdc to 1090 Vdc

• 50 kΩ to 200 TΩ (2 x 1014)

• Analog output

• 3 % basic accuracy

• Simple opera

Uses:

• Insulation resistance measurements for wire and cable

• Insulation resistance for capacitors

• A wide variety of insulation resistance measurements for components and devices

• Indicated for use in various service bulletins for aircraft fuel pump inspection

The 1863 Megohmmeter is the choice for production and inspection tests. The 1863 will measure resistance at any of 5 switch selectable test voltages of: 50, 100, 200, 250 and 500 Vdc. This allows for a simple front panel and is a more economical megohmmeter. It is best suited for applications requiring insulation resistance measurements from 50 kΩ to 20 TΩ.

The instruments are easy to use with directreading meter indication and lighted range switch that shows the multiplier for each range and voltage. The maximum current possible at the terminals is limited to 5 mA. A danger light near the terminals warns when voltage is present.

Stable power supplies and feedback voltmeter circuit minimizes drift and time wasting adjustments. Guard and ground terminals permit measurements of grounded or ungrounded two or three terminal devices.

The instruments are supplied in a convenient, portable, flip-tilt case that is a stand for the meter when in use and protects the megohmmeter during transit and storage.


Resistance Accuracy:

1863: (minimum reading is 0.5): 

Range 1-5: ±2(meter reading+1)% (For example, if meter reading is 1, accuracy is ±2(1.0+1)% = ±4%)

Range 6: ±(2(meter reading+1)%+2%)

Range 7: ±(2(meter reading+1)%+4%)
