DESCRIPTION
The new MIT510/2 and 520/2, 5-kV and MIT1020/2, 10-kV
insulation resistance testers are all designed specifically to
assist the user with the testing and maintenance of high
voltage equipment. The instruments are designed in a
landscape style which is more familiar and user friendly.
The MIT510/2 and MIT520/2 measures to 15 TΩ, replacing
the ambiguous “infinity” reading with an actual number
that can be used for predictive/preventive trending on the
highest quality insulation. Both units are supplied with test
leads with medium insulated clips.
The MIT510/2 has the facility to set the test voltage in
steps from 250 V to 5000 V and the MIT520/2 has the
ability to set the test voltage from 50 V to the maximum
output voltage.
The MIT1020/2 offers a measurement range to 35 TΩ in
order to provide trending values for the best of insulating
materials used on the higher capitalized equipment. The
model features an expanded test voltage range from 50 V
to 10 kV, in 10 V increments to 1 kV and 25 V increments
above. The MIT1020/2 is supplied with two sets of test
leads, one with medium insulated clips and the other with
large insulated clips.
All three instruments have a large, easy-to-read backlit LCD
making them equally suitable for use in both bright
sunlight and poorly lit environments. Information displayed
includes resistance, voltage, leakage current, capacitance,
battery status and time constant. In addition, the elapsed
time is displayed constantly, removing the need for
separate timers. The MIT520/2 and MIT1020/2 allow up to
3 timed measurement positions to be set, which simplifies
DAR testing.
A built-in integral timer starts automatically at the
beginning of a test, and displays in minutes and seconds.
At the end of any test, capacitive loads are automatically
discharged and the decaying voltage displayed. The timer
enables the performance of an automatic IR test with the
MIT510/2, while the MIT520/2 and MIT1020/2 add the
capability of preprogrammed DAR, PI, SV and DD. The
MIT520/2 and MIT1020/2 include a selectable breakdown
or burn mode and an alarm mode, which allows the
operator to preset a specific resistance level. The unit will
beep until the limit is exceeded. The controls of the
instruments are clear and unambiguous, and a “quick start”
guide is included in the lid, eliminating the need to carry
manuals to site locations.
Redundant safety features make the instruments fully
amenable to safe operation in the more demanding high
voltage environment. The CAT IV 600 V safety rating
means that the instruments are protected for use on
outside applications and are protected against impulses to
8 kV. Instrument design is in conformance with EN61010
for arc-flash protection. If the instrument is accidentally
connected to a live test item, external voltage will be
automatically displayed and testing inhibited above 50 V
(80 V on MIT1020/2). At the conclusion of a test,
dangerous static voltage on the test item is automatically
discharged and monitored on the display. All three models
are fitted with a guard terminal to enhance accuracy. The
guard test lead is included as standard with each
instrument.

APPLICATIONS
All three models are designed for testing the insulation of
high-voltage electric equipment. Their wide voltage range
also allows applications for low-voltage equipment.
Generators, motors, transformers, cables and switchgear all
require effective maintenance. The test techniques on the
instruments provide valuable diagnostic information.

With its higher voltage testing capability, the MIT1020/2 is
the perfect every day work tool for manufacturers, users
and maintainers of rotating machinery. Designed in
accordance with the requirements of IEEE43:2000 the
MIT1020/2 is ideal for measuring the insulation resistance
of armature and field windings in rotating machines rated
1hp (750 W) or greater. The standard applies to
synchronous, induction and dc machines as well as
synchronous condensers.

What is the IEEE Standard 43-2000?
In March 2000, the IEEE-SA Standards Board approved a
revision of IEEE Std 43-1974 by the Electric Machinery
Committee of the IEEE Power Engineering Society. This
revision is IEEE Std 43-2000, the “IEEE Recommended
Practice for Testing Insulation Resistance of Rotating
Machinery.”
Following is a brief summary of the highlights of IEEE
Standard 43-2000:
s
s
Test results should be compared to historical values
to identify changes.
In lieu of historical records, minimum acceptable
values (based on the type of equipment) for both
tests are indicated.
Depending on the machine rating, the readings for
one or both tests should exceed the minimum
acceptable values.
If the readings are below the minimum acceptable
values, the winding is not recommended for an over-
voltage test or for operation.
s
s
Test voltages up to 10 kV are recommended for windings
rated greater than 12 kV.
Both the insulation resistance and the polarization index
test are recommended.
