High performance dielectric analyser

Edited by the Laboratorytalk editorial team Jun 13, 2006

Combines AC dielectric strength testing (AC Hipot) with DC dielectric strength testing (DC Hipot), and insulation resistance to 65Gigohms with earth continuity measurement, all from single connection

Caltest announces the availability of a compact dielectric analyser manufactured by Vitrek.

Designated the Vitrek 944i, this versatile product combines AC dielectric strength testing (AC Hipot) with DC dielectric strength testing (DC Hipot), and insulation resistance to 65Gigohms with earth continuity measurement, all from a single test connection.

Features include automatic calibration, built in diagnostics, internal 'watchdog' safety monitor, user memory for up to 100 test routines, arc detection and available interface package with IEEE-488.2, RS-232 and direct test results printout capability.

On the front is an easy to read vacuum fluorescent display shows test display status, readings and automatic set up menus.

Also included are brilliant LEDs which illuminate a lightning bolt whenever the output exceeds 100V.

A user configurable beeper provides a loud warning prior to and during high voltage testing.

Operating temperature range is 0 to 50C.

The 944i measures 89x432x457mm and weighs 14kg, making it easily transportable.

Manufactured from the highest recommended materials and incorporating the latest state of the art electronics, this high performance product has applications in manufacturing, testing, electronic/electrical component evaluation, product safety as well as research and development uses.
