The MIT220, part of the MIT200 series, is a compact, lightweight, and practical insulation and continuity tester designed for professionals. Here is a detailed overview of its features and capabilities:
Offers insulation resistance, continuity, and voltage measurement. The insulation test voltage is selectable between 250V and 500V, with a range of 10kΩ to 1000MΩ. The continuity test has a maximum current of 200mA and a range of 0.01Ω to 100Ω. Measures voltage from 25V to 600V AC/DC.
Includes a live circuit warning function. When connected to a circuit with voltage >25V, it displays a warning. If voltage exceeds 50V, it temporarily stops testing. It also features automatic discharge after insulation testing to prevent shocks.
Utilizes exclusive DART™ technology. The digital/analog display combines the clarity and accuracy of an LCD with the ability to evaluate a circuit's charge and discharge characteristics using an analog needle response.
Highly suitable for electrical contractors, home and industrial systems, and field maintenance departments. It is ideal for testing transformers, motors, generators, switchgear, panel manufacturers, home appliances, power tools, and fixed wiring systems.
