4. Steps for Conducting an Insulation Resistance Test Using LISUN WB2681A

To ensure accurate test results, follow these steps when using the LISUN WB2681A insulation resistance tester:

Step 1: Preparation

Ensure the tester’s battery is fully charged and the test leads are securely connected.
Select the appropriate test voltage based on the rated voltage and insulation level of the device under test.

Step 2: Connection

Connect the test leads to the conductor and insulation part of the device under test, ensuring a secure contact.

Step 3: Testing

Turn on the tester and select the desired test mode (continuous or timed).
Begin the test and observe the reading on the display until it stabilizes.

Step 4: Interpreting Results

High resistance values (typically in the MΩ or GΩ range) indicate good insulation performance.
Low resistance values may indicate insulation aging or damage, requiring further inspection or maintenance.

Step 5: Post-Test Processing

Turn off the tester and disconnect the test leads.
Record the test results for future reference and analysis.

5. Relationship Between Insulation Resistance Tester and Earth Resistance Ground Tester
Although insulation resistance testers and Earth Resistance Ground Testers serve different functions, they complement each other in electrical safety testing.

• The insulation resistance tester evaluates the internal insulation performance of electrical devices.
• The Earth Resistance Ground Tester assesses the effectiveness of grounding systems, ensuring that in the event of a fault, the current can safely flow into the ground, preventing electric shocks and equipment damage.

By using both devices together, engineers can comprehensively assess electrical system safety, reducing the risk of insulation failures and grounding faults.

6. Experimental Data Analysis
To better understand the performance of the LISUN WB2681A insulation resistance tester, we tested several different devices and recorded the insulation resistance values as shown below:

Tested Equipment	Rated Voltage (V)	Test Voltage (V)	Insulation Resistance (MΩ)	Evaluation Result
Low-voltage motor	380	1000	250	Good Insulation
High-voltage transformer	10,000	5000	1200	Good Insulation
Cable Line	220	500	85	Needs Monitoring
Aged motor	380	1000	8	Poor Insulation
Electronic control device	110	500	500	Excellent Insulation

The data shows that the insulation condition of a device directly affects its safety performance. For instance, insulation resistance below 10MΩ may indicate insulation aging, requiring regular maintenance or replacement.

7. Conclusion
The LISUN WB2681A insulation resistance tester is an ideal tool for electrical safety testing due to its high precision, multiple voltage options, ease of operation, and wide applicability. When used in combination with an Earth Resistance Ground Tester, it provides a comprehensive evaluation of electrical system safety, ensuring the stable operation of industrial, commercial, and residential power systems.

In real-world applications, regular insulation resistance testing can effectively prevent insulation failures, reduce equipment failure rates, and minimize safety risks. Therefore, electrical engineers and maintenance personnel should perform insulation resistance tests periodically to ensure the reliability and safety of power systems.
