klemmeter
A klemmeter is a type of electrical meter used to measure insulation resistance. It is a specialized ohmmeter that generates a high voltage to force a current through the insulation being tested. This high voltage allows for the measurement of very high resistance values, which are characteristic of good electrical insulation. The resistance value obtained is an indicator of the condition of the insulation; a lower resistance suggests that the insulation may be degraded or damaged, potentially leading to electrical faults.
Klemmmeters are commonly used in electrical maintenance and safety testing. They are employed to assess the
The high voltage generated by a klemmeter is important for its function. Standard ohmmeters operate at much
