It tests to IEC 62446 with test voltages from 125 V to 1000 V and a measurement range up to 4000 MΩ, and it's rated CAT II 1000 V / CAT III 600 V with an IP54 sealed body for outdoor use. Stepped-voltage testing, a comparison function, automatic discharge, and a high-voltage alarm cover the safety and diagnostic basics, while 1000 result sets store on-board and transfer over USB or a Bluetooth app for commissioning reports. It's backed by UNI-T's nearly 40 years of test-meter manufacturing. Key Features Live PV insulation testing up to DC 1000 V — no array shutdown required Test voltages: 125 V, 250 V, 500 V, 1000 V (IEC 62446) Insulation resistance up to 4000 MΩ, accuracy ±(1.5%+5) Stepped-voltage testing and comparison function Automatic discharge and high-voltage alarm 1000-set storage; USB and Bluetooth app CAT II 1000 V / CAT III 600 V; IP54 sealed body Compact ~0.5 kg handheld for rooftop and field work UT503PV Details Live PV Insulation Testing The UT503PV measures insulation resistance on energized photovoltaic strings up to DC 1000 V, so you can verify a system without disconnecting it or short-circuiting panels — and because it doesn't depend on irradiance, testing works after dark when the array is at a stable voltage. Built to IEC 62446 Test voltages from 125 V to 1000 V and a 4000 MΩ range follow the IEC 62446 framework for commissioning and periodic verification of PV installations, giving a documented insulation result for sign-off. Safety for High-Voltage DC Automatic discharge clears stored charge after each test, a high-voltage alarm warns of live leads, and the CAT II 1000 V / CAT III 600 V rating with an IP54 sealed body suits outdoor rooftop and ground-mount work in the field. Documentation & Connectivity Store up to 1000 result sets and transfer them by USB or a Bluetooth app, with a comparison function for pass/fail thresholds — practical for commissioning packs and recurring maintenance records. Applications Solar PV installation and commissioning to IEC 62446; periodic insulation checks on operating arrays; EV-charging and battery-energy-storage DC wiring verification; and rooftop and ground-mount maintenance where live testing avoids taking a system offline. Frequently Asked Questions Can the UT503PV test energized PV systems? Yes — it measures insulation resistance on live PV strings up to DC 1000 V, so the array does not have to be shut down or short-circuited. Can it test at night? Yes. Because the measurement does not rely on irradiance, testing works after dark when the string is at a stable voltage. What standard does it follow? Test voltages and ranges follow IEC 62446 for photovoltaic system commissioning and verification.
