It tests insulation resistance up to 2.5 TΩ at test voltages to 2500 V — well matched to low- and medium-voltage motors, cables, and switchgear where a full 5 kV output isn't required but a wide, high-resistance range still is. It includes Polarization Index testing, 10% stepped-voltage profiling, a comparison function, and capacitance measurement, with automatic discharge after each test. Results store 999 sets and transfer over USB, and a 14.8 V 5200 mAh rechargeable pack runs a full field day. It's backed by UNI-T's nearly 40 years of test-meter manufacturing. Key Features Test voltage output up to 2500 V Insulation resistance up to 2.5 TΩ, accuracy ±(5%+5) Polarization Index (PI) timed test 10%-of-range stepped-voltage profiling Capacitance measurement up to 2 µF Comparison function for pass/fail Automatic discharge and auto-ranging 999-set storage with USB transfer CAT IV 600 V; 14.8 V 5200 mAh rechargeable Li-ion UT512E Details 2.5 kV Insulation Testing Test voltages to 2500 V and a measurement range to 2.5 TΩ cover low- and medium-voltage insulation work — motor windings, cable, and switchgear — without the higher output of the 5 kV models. PI & Stepped-Voltage Profiling A timed Polarization Index test flags moisture and aging, and 10% stepped-voltage profiling stresses the dielectric in stages to reveal marginal insulation that a single fixed reading would pass. Capacitance & Comparison Built-in capacitance measurement to 2 µF supports cable and winding work, and a comparison function sets a pass/fail threshold for fast, repeatable go/no-go decisions. Safety & Field Build Automatic discharge clears stored charge at the end of each test. The CAT IV 600 V rating and a 14.8 V 5200 mAh rechargeable pack make it ready for industrial and utility field use.

Frequently Asked Questions What is the UT512E's test voltage and range? Test voltages up to 2500 V and insulation resistance measurement up to 2.5 TΩ. How does the UT512E relate to the UT513 models? It is the 2.5 kV entry to the same family; the UT513A/B/C step up to 5 kV output with higher resistance ranges and additional diagnostics. Does the UT512E measure capacitance? Yes — up to 2 µF, alongside insulation resistance, PI, and stepped-voltage testing.
