General Description
This chapter gives an overview of the
TOS5300 Series and explains the options that
are available for it.
Product Overview
5302
The TOS5300 Series Withstanding Voltage and Insulation Resistance Testers perform withstanding
voltage and insulation resistance tests, which are two of the four tests that are required for ensuring
the safety of electrical products.
This product can perform withstanding voltage and insulation resistance tests on electrical
products and electrical components in accordance with the requirements of safety and electrical
standards and ordinances such as IEC, EN, UL, VDE, and JIS.
It is suited to (1) research and development installations, (2) test facilities for quality assurance
testing and standard certification, and (3) manufacturing lines.
The TOS5300 can perform AC withstanding voltage tests (ACW). The TOS5301 can perform AC
withstanding voltage tests and DC withstanding voltage tests (ACW and DCW). The TOS5302 can
perform AC withstanding voltage tests (ACW) and insulation resistance tests (IR).
These withstanding voltage and insulation resistance testers are easy to use, safe, and reliable.
Features
● Newly developed constant-voltage output for stable testing
The TOS5300 Series is not affected by AC line interference. Because the output voltage is
maintained at a fixed value even if the AC line voltage or frequency changes, stable tests can be
performed even in locations where the power supply is unstable.
The AC inlet is designed for worldwide use. The TOS5300 Series can be used without
modification provided the nominal power supply voltage is within the range of 100 VAC to 240
VAC (90 VAC to 250 VAC)
and the frequency is within the range of 47 Hz to 63 Hz.
1
● Rise time control feature that gradually increases the test voltage (only for withstanding
voltage tests)
Instead of immediately applying the specified test voltage to the DUT after the test begins, this
makes it possible to perform tests in which the voltage is raised gradually to the test voltage. As
required by withstanding voltage tests defined by standards such as IEC and UL, this makes it
possible to perform tests in which no more than half of the test voltage is applied at the start of
the test, and the test voltage is gradually reached over the specified time.
● Fall time control feature that gradually decreases the test voltage
The test voltage can be gradually decreased after a PASS judgment occurs during an AC
withstanding voltage test.
● Auto test (AUTO TEST) for performing consecutive tests
A combination of an AC withstanding voltage test and an insulation resistance test (IR) can be
performed in sequence.
● Calibration Protection feature that provides a notification when TOS5300 Series
calibration is required
The product displays a message when the preset calibration period elapses. It is also possible to
switch the product into protection mode and apply limits to its use when this period elapses.
1The four tests are the withstanding-voltage, insulation-resistance, earth-continuity, and leakage-current
tests.
14TOS5300
Product Overview
● Window comparator feature for setting upper and lower judgment limits
You can set not only the upper limit, but the lower limit as well. This is useful in determining
whether there are breaks in test leads or whether there was a mistake during operations. This
leads to highly reliable tests.
● Ability to save three sets of test conditions
Up to three sets of test conditions for single tests (AC withstanding voltage tests, DC
withstanding voltage tests, and insulation resistance tests) and auto tests (an insulation
resistance test followed by a withstanding voltage test and a withstanding voltage test
followed by an insulation resistance test) can be saved.
1
● Improved safety
In addition to having features that enable you to view the output voltage, the TOS5300 Series
also enables you to set the voltage limits, so you can prevent a voltage greater than what is
necessary from being generated unintentionally. This provides protection for the DUT.
● Standard-equipped USB port
The TOS5300 Series is standard-equipped with a USB interface. You can use a PC or sequencer
to control test conditions and read measured values and test results.
● Easier to read
The LED graphic display is easy to read. Additionally, when a protective feature is activated, the
reason for its activation is easily viewable on the display.
● Light-weight and easy to move
Even though the TOS5300 Series can generate 500 VA, which is sufficient for performing
withstanding voltage tests, it weighs at most 15 kg, so it can be moved by even a single person.
● Protection against incorrect operations
In addition to the key lock feature, the TOS5300 Series has a protection cover for the part of its
panel that is used to change test conditions. This cover is useful in preventing incorrect
operations when you want to perform tests with fixed conditions.

During withstanding voltage and insulation resistance tests in which you are using tools, (1) placing
a cover over the DUT so that output is turned off whenever the cover is removed to prevent electric
shock and (2) placing a safety fence around the work area where withstanding voltage and
insulation resistance tests are being performed so that output is turned off whenever the fence is
opened are both examples of effective safety measures.
When the TOS5300 Series is turned on, a self-test is run, and all the indicators on the front panel
light. To ensure safety, check that all the indicators light before you use the TOS5300 Series. It is
especially dangerous to use the tester if its DANGER LED is broken.
When the power is turned on, the DANGER LED lights, but no voltage is generated.

The first time that the POWER switch is turned on, the firmware version is displayed, and then the
setup screen for setting the AC withstanding voltage test conditions is displayed (with the factory
default settings).
The product stores the settings that are in use before it is turned off, so the next time that the
POWER switch is turned on, the TOS5300 Series starts with these settings.
About the system clock
The TOS5300 Series keeps track of the scheduled calibration date by using the internal system
clock. When the tester is turned on after the previously set calibration period has elapsed, a
message alerting you of this fact is displayed.

Turning the Power On
The panel settings that were in use immediately before the POWER switch was turned off are saved.
If the POWER switch is turned off immediately after the settings have been changed, the last
settings may not be stored.
Possible electric shock.
• After you turn the POWER switch off, wait at least 10 seconds before you turn the POWER
switch back on. It is dangerous to do otherwise, because the protective features of the
product may not work effectively.
This may cause the product to malfunction, and it may reduce the life of the POWER switch
and internal parts such as the fuses.
• Except in an emergency, do not turn the POWER switch off while output is being generated.
Performing the zero adjustment before testing
If the analog voltmeter does not indicate “0,” perform this adjustment.
Check that the POWER switch is turned off ( ).

Possible electric shock. During testing (while the TEST LED or DANGER LED is lit), never
touch the HIGH VOLTAGE terminal, test leads, and DUT.
Using test leads
Possible electric shock.
• Parts of the included test leads near the alligator clips
protrude from the vinyl insulation when the wires are
connected. These parts are dangerous. Never come
close to these parts during testing.
• If connections are incomplete, the entire DUT may be
charged to a high voltage. This is dangerous, so be sure to connect the DUT correctly.
• Be sure to connect the LOW test lead (black) first.
Connecting the low and high voltage
terminals incorrectly may lead to
malfunctions. A plate that is designed to
prevent incorrect connections to these
terminals is attached to the LOW test lead
(black). Do not remove this plate.

Reducing the effect of noise
Noise may be generated if the outputs are shorted or if the DUT insulation is damaged. Electronic
devices in the surrounding area may malfunction due to the effect of this noise. To reduce the effect
of noise, connect a toroidal core or a resistor of approximately 470 Ω between the tips of the HIGH
VOLTAGE and LOW test leads and the DUT. Connect the toroidal core or resistor as close to the DUT
as possible.
If you are connecting a toroidal core, it is effective to wrap the test leads two to three times around
a type of core that can be snapped on and that is often used with power cables. This type of core is
usually approximately 20 mm in diameter.
If you are connecting a resistor, pay close attention to the power rating of the resistor. When the
upper limit is 10 mA or less, connect a resistor of approximately 470 Ω (3 W, 30 kV impulse
withstanding voltage). Because this resistor causes the voltage to fall, the voltage that is actually
applied to the DUT is slightly lower than the voltage that is generated from the product’s output
terminals (when a 10 mA current flows, the voltage falls approximately 10 V).
These methods are extremely useful in reducing the effect of noise.
