It is very simple to use and provide a quick and accurate reading of insulation resistance. The instruments use an analogue display with a maximum reading of 20Gohm. The BM15 is powered by batteries, voltage range enables measurement of AC or DC conductor potential. It features large, single scale analogue display, auto voltage measurement function indicates conductor and auto discharge potential, supplied with optional locking test button, safety recessed terminals and long connectors, four output test voltages, unique scale overlay for pass/fail bands, resilient mounted analogue scale for robustness, single scale for insulation values to avoid operator error, light weight and rugged. This general purpose tester is for electrical contractors and engineers who test machinery, transformers, switchgear, cables also used by cable manufacturers mining, companies railway companies gas and water utilities.
