Copyright © 2007 UEi Specifications are subject to change without notice. L648 1/07
Distributed By:
The IRT3 is an affordable, rugged Megohmeter
used to check motor and generator windings,
power transformers, and electrical lines. Its
multiple output ranges make it suitable for a wide
variety of applications.
The IRT3
has the following features:
• Large high-contrast analog display
• Live circuit (external voltage applied) warning light
• AC Voltage measurement to 600 Volts
• Insulation resistance readings from 0 to 400 Megohms
• Three test-voltage ranges (250, 500, 1000 V DC)
• Fuse protected against accidental misuse
• Precision, low resistance test leads (1000 Volt CAT III rated)
• Low battery indication
• Maintains rated voltage on cables at up to 1 mA leak-rate
• Automatic, post-test cable discharge
• Rugged, compact case with latching cover to keep the elements out
• Three year limited warranty
