The Rod-L M100AVS5-5.0-25 is an AC Hipot Test Instrument that verifies insulation strength and ensures electrical safety compliance through high-voltage dielectric breakdown testing. Built to meet U.L., I.E.C., C.S.A., V.D.E., F.C.C., B.S.I., BABT, and MIL-STD standards, the instrument delivers electronically controlled voltage ramping with adjustable rate-of-rise to prevent damaging transients during test initiation.
