Chauvin Arnoux CA6549 5kV Insulation Tester

Chauvin Arnoux CA6549 5kV Insulation Tester

The Chauvin Arnoux CA6549 5kV Insulation Tester is a robust, high-performance megohmmeter designed for comprehensive insulation testing in demanding environments. With a measurement range spanning from 10kΩ to 10TΩ, this instrument offers both quantitative and qualitative analysis, ensuring accurate assessments of insulation integrity. The device features four fixed test voltages (500V, 1000V, 2500V, and 5000V) alongside an adjustable test voltage option ranging from 40V to 5100V, providing the flexibility needed for a wide variety of applications.

Equipped with advanced functionalities such as the automatic calculation of Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR), Polarisation Index (PI), and Dielectric Discharge (DD) quality ratios, the CA6549 delivers precise and reliable insulation monitoring. The large, backlit graphical display enhances usability by offering real-time projection of resistance over time (R(t)) graphs and gradient calculations, simplifying the analysis process. Additionally, step voltage mode and programmable test durations allow for thorough and customised testing routines.

The CA6549’s built-in memory can store thousands of measurements, making it an excellent choice for professionals who require long-term data retention. Results can be easily transferred to a PC via the RS-232 connector, allowing further analysis and reporting using the included Chauvin Arnoux DataView software. The rugged, site-proof casing and IP53 ingress protection ensure that the tester can withstand the rigours of fieldwork, while the rechargeable NiMH battery offers up to 30 days of operation under typical testing conditions.

Ideal for both industrial and laboratory settings, the Chauvin Arnoux CA6549 5kV Insulation Tester combines durability, accuracy, and convenience, making it an indispensable tool for any professional involved in insulation testing and analysis.
