UT501B Insulation Resistance Tester is designed with brand-new 

design and combination of massive integrated and digital circuits; it 

can measure insulation resistance, low resistance, AC voltage, etc,  

and enjoys high degree of accuracy, stable performance, easy 

operation and reliability. It is used for insulation resistance 

measurement for insulation materials and various kinds of electric 

equipments such as transformer, electric machines, cables, 

switches, electrical appliances, a ideal tool for electric equipment 

maintenance, testing and inspection.
