Chroma 19052 Hipot Tester: Precision AC/DC/IR Testing with Guardian 1030 and RS-232 Connectivity

Chroma 19052 – Hipot Tester (AC/DC/IR) – Guardian 1030.

The Chroma 19052 – Guardian 1030 combines AC, DC, and insulation resistance (IR) testing into one efficient, high-performance hipot tester, ideal for ensuring product safety in R&D, manufacturing, and compliance labs.

This model delivers up to 5kV AC and 6kV DC output, as well as 1,000V IR testing, with advanced safety features such as GFI protection, flashover (ARC) detection, and a built-in Open/Short Check (OSC) function. The large backlit LCD enhances visibility, while programmable test parameters offer flexibility across a wide range of test applications.

It also includes an automatic discharge mechanism for DUT (Device Under Test), enhancing operator safety during insulation and DC testing.

As part of our wide range of Electrical Test Instruments, this unit is categorized under our specialized selection of Hipot Testers, delivering industrial-grade reliability and precision.
