Electrical measuring instrument selector

Tell us what you need to measure and on which installation: insulation, earth, loop impedance, RCDs, power quality, contact resistance, photovoltaics, thermography, partial discharge or the everyday handheld instruments. The tool calculates the deciding quantity in each case —the test voltage, the resolution required, the measuring current, the spatial resolution— and we propose the instrument that meets your specification, with its standard accessories and those worth adding.

How it selects: for each instrument type there is one deciding quantity, which the tool calculates from the installation instead of assuming it: the test voltage for insulation follows from the rated voltage of the object and its type; the resolution of the loop tester, from the protective device that must trip; the measuring current of the micro-ohmmeter, from the expected resistance; the spatial resolution of the camera, from the distance and the detail. Among the instruments that cover everything, the one that comes with exactly the right accessory is proposed, and the reason is explained.
