*Important Calibration Information:
This instrument comes with a ‘manufacturer's certificate of conformity’. It is important to understand that this does NOT constitute a ‘traceable calibration certificate’. A certificate of conformity merely states that the equipment has been designed and produced to meet the requirements of its intended application.
Where calibration of an instrument is possible, we will offer this as a separately purchasable item and may be selected from the drop-down box above. You will be sent a full traceable calibration certificate produced in our laboratory and applied with your details as required.

Insulation Measurement at 15kV, a job for experts

With their test voltages of up to 10 kV/15 kV, the CA6550 and CA6555 megohmmeters are expert tools for testing insulation safely and accurately. As they comply with the most recent recommended practice while taking into account future developments, they are ideal for use on rotating equipment and machinery operating at 12 kV or even higher.

The multiple test modes mean that you can both assess the insulation in qualitative terms by non-destructive testing (“I-limit” and “early-break” modes) and use samples to investigate insulation ageing problems for preventive maintenance purposes (“burning” mode). The C.A 6550 and CA6555 offer quick, effective checking of test execution by displaying the evolution of the test in progress in graphic form.

Thanks to their large storage capacity, complete analysis of the test sessions performed on-site can be carried out with the DataView® software after transferring the data onto a PC.

Chauvin Arnoux CA6550 Comes Supplied With:

CAT IV Accessory Bag
2x 3m Safety Leads
1 Guard Test Lead
Mains Power Cord
3x Crocodile Clips
USB/Optical Communication Cable
User Guide
DataView Software

Key Applications:

Thanks to their large measurement range, extending up to 30 TΩ, the CA6550 and CA6555 meet the requirements of companies manufacturing cables, transformers, rotating machinery, and medium-voltage generators, as well as professionals in the Electricity Transmission and Distribution sector.

Insulation measurement at up to 10/15 kV

On LV/HV rotating machines, transformers, cables, high-voltage generators, overhead and underground electricity transmission and distribution networks, surge suppressors/spark arresters, measurement transducers, etc.

2 levels of diagnostics :

“Go/No Go” test
Qualitative measurement for preventive maintenance purposes:
Test with programmable duration

Qualitative measurement:

Polarization Index (PI) ratio, dielectric absorption ratio (DAR) and dielectric discharge (DD) index for testing heterogeneous multi-layered insulation

Fixed voltage mode

Step, Ramp mode:

Results independent of temperature, detection of insulant cracking and ageing

I-limit or dI/dt (early-break) trigger modes:

Optimization of non-destructive tests (e.g. Varistor testing)

Burning mode (no triggering)

Selectable voltage from 40 V to 10,000 / 15,300 V

Graphic LCD display of R(t) + u(t), I(t), I(u) (useful for testing semi-conductors)

Storage of results for export onto a PC

Using analysis software to process the measurement logs.
