It offers five insulation test voltage ranges from 250 V to 5 kV and seven insulation resistance ranges from 10 MΩ to 10 TΩ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts compact, lightweight design is intended for mobile use in high-voltage installations and other electrical systems. The included hard case protects the instrument against dust and water in IP65 environments. With a maximum rated voltage of 2000 V in measurement category CAT III, the IR5050 is designed for testing high-voltage systems in this classification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter measurement, the automatic discharge function safely dissipates residual voltage in the test object. Shielded test leads and guarding techniques reduce interference and contribute to stable, repeatable measurement results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDiagnostic Functions for Insulation Assessment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsulation resistance values are useful for an initial assessment, but they are not sufficient for evaluating aging, moisture ingress, or contamination in detail. In addition, insulation resistance varies with temperature, humidity, and the time-dependent behavior of insulating materials, meaning a single measurement only provides limited information about insulation condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this reason, the IR5050 complements standard insulation resistance measurement with advanced diagnostic functions that enable a more comprehensive evaluation of insulation health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Polarization Index (PI) evaluates the change in insulation resistance over time and provides information about aging, moisture, and contamination. The Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR) follows the same principle with shorter evaluation periods and is suitable for applications where readings stabilize more quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dielectric Discharge (DD) function is used to assess multilayer insulation systems and helps identify degradation within insulation materials that may not be apparent through conventional resistance measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTests with Changing Test Voltage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Step Voltage test, the test voltage is increased in defined steps. This allows users to assess whether insulation resistance decreases disproportionately as electrical stress increases. Such behavior can indicate weaknesses in the insulation system that may not be detected when testing at only a single voltage level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Ramp test, the test voltage increases continuously. This enables observation of insulation behavior across a voltage range and helps identify the voltage level at which irregularities begin to appear. This method is particularly useful when assessing insulation performance under progressively increasing electrical stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eData Storage and Documentation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurement data can be stored directly in the IR5050 and retrieved later for review, reporting, or transfer to external systems. This supports documentation workflows even when no mobile device or PC is available during testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor wireless data handling, the instrument can be combined with the optional Z3210 Bluetooth Adapter. This allows measured values to be transferred to smartphones or tablets for mobile documentation and further processing. When used with the free GENNECT Cross app for iOS and Android, the IR5050 can be integrated into digital field-documentation workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Z3210 also supports HID operation, enabling measured values to be transmitted as keyboard input directly into Excel or other software applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor computer-based documentation, stored data can be transferred using the optional DT4900-01 Communication Package. Its optically isolated interface provides galvanic separation from the PC and also supports changing instrument settings from the computer. Measurement control is not available through the DT4900-01.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IR5050 was developed in Japan and is manufactured in HIOKI’s own production facilities in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• IR5050 High Voltage Insulation Tester\u003cbr\u003e• C0212 Carrying Case\u003cbr\u003e• L9850-01 Red Test Lead, 3 m\u003cbr\u003e• L9850-02 Black Test Lead, 3 m, shielded\u003cbr\u003e• L9850-03 Blue Test Lead, 3 m\u003cbr\u003e• L9851-01 Red Alligator Clip (attached to L9850-01)\u003cbr\u003e• L9851-02 Black Alligator Clip (attached to L9850-02)\u003cbr\u003e• L9851-03 Blue Alligator Clip (attached to L9850-03)\u003cbr\u003e• 8 × LR6 AA Alkaline Batteries\u003cbr\u003e• Instruction Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRelated Products\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• IR5051 High Voltage Insulation Tester\u003cbr\u003e• IR5051-90 High Voltage Insulation Tester\u003cbr\u003e• Z3210 Bluetooth Adapter\u003cbr\u003e• DT4900-01 Communication Package (USB)\u003cbr\u003e• IR4059 Digital Insulation Tester\u003cbr\u003e• IR4057-50 Digital Insulation Tester\u003cbr\u003e• IR4056 Digital Insulation Tester\u003cbr\u003e• IR4053 Digital Insulation Tester\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hioki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58412295913804,"sku":"70000834","price":1780.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/2245\/6652\/files\/IR5050_1.jpg?v=1786729508","url":"https:\/\/www.testequity.co.uk\/products\/hioki-ir5050-70000834","provider":"TestEquity UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
