Insulation Resistance Meter Sonel MIC-5001

The Insulation Resistance Meter Sonel MIC-5001 is a budget-friendly tool for measuring the resistance of objects up to 5TΩ with a 5000V DC voltage rate test. With its 1.3 mA current, the unit can sustain reliable readings in all conditions, making it an essential tool for every service technician.

How to use Insulation Resistance Meter Sonel MIC-5001

The MIC-5001 is designed for easy use, with a RAMP TEST mode that applies voltage in a continuous increase at a constant rate, up to the selected maximum. The third socket (GUARD) allows you to verify the amount of leakage current that may “escape” through faulty or contaminated insulation. The low weight of approx. 1kg allows for comfortable use in all conditions. PI / DAR functions allow for a better understanding of insulation resistance.

Features of Insulation Resistance Meter Sonel MIC-5001

The MIC-5001 offers a range of features including built-in memory with 990 cells, a large screen for easy measurements in all conditions, and the ability to recharge the device during measurements using a power bank. The meter also has a built-in voltmeter for measuring AC and DC voltages up to 750 V, and can record and send up to 12,000 measurement results to a computer for further analysis. The device also has the unique ability to perform a slow and uniform method of applying test voltage, known as RampTest, which protects the insulation against sudden "electrical stress" and can reveal defects that can't be observed in classic RISO resistance measurements.
