Man - 1000MAN.DOC 4/21/2005 MODEL 1000N REPAIR AND CALIBRATION MANUAL CAT. #185.100 INTRODUCTION The Model 1000N Megohmmeter is a portable instrument which is essentially intended for performing insulation tests upon various components of electrical systems and equipment. The instrument allows completion of measurements according to multiple voltage levels (step voltage method), making it possible for the user to evaluate insulation quality and to plan preventive maintenance accordingly (especially for motors). SPECIFIC FEATURES: • If a linear response were to be adopted for resistance and conductance, a high number of scales would be required on account of the extent of the measuring range which must be cover in practice, from 1 MΩ to 1000 GΩ. The use of logarithmic response circuitry reduces the number of scales to two. Each scale covering three decades. The accuracy is typically on the order of ± 5% over the entire range. • Selection of the test voltages does not cause the measuring range to change. It is very easy to determine the influence of voltage upon insulation. • An additional range is provided to cover from 1 kΩ to 1 MΩ. This range uses a constant current source (1 mA) to perform the measurement. The maximum open voltage is limited to approximately 1100 V. • A voltmeter range covering from 0 to 600 V AC or DC allows the user to verify whether or not the circuit where the insulation must be tested is energized. • Insulation testing and voltmeter functions are accompanied by a continuity test range from 0.1Ω to 100Ω. The logarithmic scale provides excellent accuracy between 0.1Ω to 1Ω. A fuse is used for overload protection in case of incorrect measuring procedures. PRINCIPAL FEATURES: Insulation Testing: • Test voltages - The rotary selector switch allows the choice of five voltages: 50 V, 100 V, 250 V, 500 V, 1000 V. • Ranges for each test voltage MΩ: 1 MΩ to 1000 MΩ (typical accuracy: ± 5% of reading, max: ± 10% of reading) GΩ: 1 GΩ to 1000 GΩ (typical accuracy: ± 5% of reading, max: ± 10% of reading) KΩ: 1 KΩ to 1000 KΩ (typical accuracy: ± 5% of reading, max: ± 10% of reading) NOTE: From 100 GΩ to 1000 GΩ, the typical accuracy is ± 10% and max. is ± 20% of reading on the 50 V range. 4 REV. 7: March 13, 2004 FILE LOCATION: Manuals - Cal. Man - 1000MAN.DOC 4/21/2005 MODEL 1000N REPAIR AND CALIBRATION MANUAL CAT. #185.100 Continuity Testing: 0.1Ω to 100Ω (typical accuracy: ± 5% of reading, max: ± 10% of reading or 5 mΩ) The logarithmic scale is the same for the Ω and KΩ range. The 0.1Ω is calibrated at the output terminal of the instrument. You need to subtract the resistance value of the leads from your measurement if you need the accuracy under 10Ωs. DC or AC Voltage Measurements: In order to ensure that the system under test is not energized, the instrument functions as a voltmeter as soon as it is connected, provided the push-to-measure button has not yet been pressed. This is the case for every range selected. Scale: 0 to 600V AC or DC: accuracy: 3% of full scale Time Constant: K M G Charging time (R reading) x (C reading) 0.04 Sec / µF 4 Sec / µF Discharging time 0.1 Sec / µF or 0.3 Sec / µF to decrease below 50 V Safety Features: • This instrument is capable of withstanding overloads of up to 600 V for any selected function. • The continuity range is protected by a fuse inserted in the "G" (Guard) terminal and is accessible when the battery compartment is removed. Influence: • Temperature: Twice the accuracy per 10° C variation Supply voltage: Half the accuracy for battery voltages between 9 and 13 Volts • Humidity: No significant influence up to 40° C and up to 70% relative humidity Dielectric Strength: • 4000V RMS at 50 Hz for 1 minute between all input terminals and any accessible metal portions of the instrument. • Model with AC power supply accessory: Add test at 4000V RMS at 60 Hz for 1 minute between the AC outlet and any accessible metal portions of the instrument. 5 REV. 7: March 13, 2004 FILE LOCATION: Manuals - Cal.
