INSULATION RESISTANCE METER

MODEL: MIC-15K1

MANUFACTURER: SONEL

Insulation resistance meter MIC-15KV features:

• Partial discharge indicator PDI.
• Diagnostics of insulation systems based on standard measurements of IR, DAR, PI, SV, RT, DD.
• It allows testing the electrical durability of the tested object – breakdown voltage indication.
• High resistance to electromagnetic interferences guarantees uninterrupted work in power stations and in close
proximity to high voltage transmission lines up to 1200 kV AC and 500 kV DC.
• The function of smooth voltage rise in time (RT – Ramp Test) allows to state the partial discharges in the facility
and to carry out a partial location of their occurrence.
• Efficient converter with a power of ~150 W that enables insulation burnout, allowing for pinpointing the location
of cables and wires short circuit using one of the following:
• visual method (if power cables are visible along the entire length),
• reflectometric methods, seismic-acoustic waves detector, or with A-frame to indicate direction of the fault
(the conductor must be buried in the ground with earth direct contact).
• Compatible with external software.

Description

 SONEL MIC-15K1 Insulation Resistance Meter

MIC-15k1 Insulation resistance meter is designed to measure insulation resistance of power objects, i.e.:
• single- and multi-core cables,
• transformers,
• motors and generators,
• capacitors, switches and other devices installed in power stations.

It is especially recommended for measurements in areas with very high electromagnetic disturbances, e.g. electrical substations with 1200 kV AC and 500 kV DC. Thanks to the 15 kV measuring voltage (in accordance with ANSI / NETA ATS-2009 TABLES 100.1) the insulation resistance meter can be used for measuring objects with a nominal voltage above 34.5 kV.

Highly efficient HV inverter, with test voltage of 15 kV and current up to 10 mA, suitable for measuring the insulation resistance up to 40 TΩ. Achieving such a result makes these insulation resistance meters unrivalled devices. Three-wire resistance measurement, performed using a “GUARD” wire, eliminates surface leakage currents caused by contaminated insulation, thereby increasing the reliability of obtained results.

The insulation resistance meter indicates the Dielectric Absorption Ratio DAR, Polarization Index PI and the value of Dielectric Discharge DD. The insulation resistance meter allows user to assess the condition of the insulation, by applying the test voltage incrementally in steps (SV – Step Voltage) or smoothly (RampTest – RT).
• SV method ensures that a dielectric in good condition will provide the same
results, regardless of the applied voltage.
• RT method allows to determine the characteristics of the insulating material.

The insulation resistance meter smoothly increases the measuring voltage without exposing the object to so-called electrical stress. It records the time and voltage value at which the electrical breakdown of the insulation took place. Built-in digital filters, with averaging time of 10, 30, 60, 100, 200 sec. guarantee stable measurement results in areas of strong electromagnetic interference.

A very useful solution is the function that allows to Burnout the damaged object. In case of exposed cables, it enables visual identification of the fault location. In the case of shielded cables, the method allows to generate a seismic acoustic wave from the place of damage.

In special conditions, an energetic discharge will appear cyclically. By using the geophone it will be possible to precisely pinpoint the place where such a discharge occurs. Burnout feature allows also locating transient faults (appearing, for example, only during rainfall) with the support of reflectometry, and in case of a short
circuit (of a screen or return wire) to the ground – applying the method of measuring voltage drop (the A-frame).

The Insulation resistance meter automatically saves the measurement results. The number of auto save points depends on the amount of data, which is saved within the main memory.
