Technology: Detects defects in energized high voltage insulators by measuring distortion in the electric field surrounding the insulator. The high sensitivity of the testers provides and records instantaneous safety status and early detection of faults/defects before insulator integrity is compromised to prevent power outages, fires and dangerous conditions.

Insulator Testers Key Features

• Fast and Easy to Use: Tests in service energized insulators / bushings in seconds
• Safety: Makes no electrical contact with the insulator; instantly warns of unsafe live-line working conditions to ensure safety of personnel
• Maintenance Tool: Prevents rush repairs, enables maintenance only when needed and before failures occur
• Lightweight: Composite Tester 1.1 kg; Porcelain Tester 1.6 kg; Universal Tester 1.2 kg
• Failsafe: Electric field measurement methodology provides failsafe results
• Bluetooth: Bluetooth range of 330 ft (100 meters), which provides instant download of detailed insulator conditions to portable tablet PC
• Database: To analyze current and historical data, generate graphs and analyze trends
• Reports: Provides detailed insulator defect reports including defective discs, early failure diagnostics and contamination assessment for preventative maintenance
• Mapping System: Displays the condition of the insulators on the map of the power grid
• Approved by leading high voltage laboratories up to 1 Million Volts
