Description
The GD3126 series (GD3126A: 5kV/10TΩ; GD3126B: 10kV/20TΩ) is a portable, microprocessor-controlled high-voltage insulation resistance tester designed for precision insulation diagnostics on HV power equipment. It provides 5–6 selectable test voltages (250V–10kV) with continuous HV adjustment from zero, measures up to 10TΩ/20TΩ, and auto-calculates IR, DAR (absorption ratio), PI (polarization index).
With a large dot-matrix LCD, on-board temp/humidity measurement, 60-group data storage, RS232 communication, and a rechargeable lithium battery, it delivers stable, accurate results in strong EMI environments. Widely used for transformers, motors, generators, HV cables, switchgear, capacitors in substations, power plants, and industrial maintenance.

FAQ
Q: What’s the difference between GD3126A and GD3126B?
A: A = 5kV/10TΩ; B = 10kV/20TΩ; B has higher short-circuit current (8mA).
Q: Can it auto-calculate DAR and PI?
A: Yes. Automatically measures R15/R60/R600 and computes DAR=R60/R15, PI=R600/R60.
Q: Does it work in strong electromagnetic fields?
A: Yes. Digital processing provides excellent anti-interference performance for substations.
Q: How long does the battery last?
A: 30 days of typical use (10 DAR + 5 PI tests per day) on one charge.
Q: What’s included in the standard package?
A: Main unit, Li-ion battery, charger, HV test leads, ground cable, carry case, user manual.
