Points on How to Choose an Insulation Tester
Type
Two choices:
Choose an analog model if
visual recognition is of utmost
importance, or a digital model
if precise numeric recognition
is of utmost importance.
Ratings
A wide choice of voltage/resistance
ratings, from 25 V/5 MΩ to 1000
V/2000 MΩ
Some models have two or three ranges; thus, you need not take more
than one instrument to the site.

Functionality
Each series includes a model
or models with a backlight for
working in dark places. Multifunctional models capable of,
for example, AC voltage measurement, are also available.
Accessories
Optional test probes and
probe tips are available for a
variety of test environments.
