Description / Overview
Hioki IR5051 Solar / EV Insulation Tester
The IR5051 is Hioki's specialised insulation tester for solar PV systems, EV charging infrastructure and high-voltage electrical equipment. Standard insulation testers with earthed measurement circuits cannot be used safely on ungrounded PV arrays — the IR5051 is specifically designed to test PV strings and arrays without an earth reference, making it the essential tool for solar O&M teams across India.
Key Features
- Test voltages: 250V, 500V, 1.00kV, 1.50kV, 2.00kV, 2.50kV, 5.00kV DC
- Insulation resistance measurement up to 10 TΩ (10,000,000 MΩ)
- Safe measurement of ungrounded PV systems — no earth connection required
- Leakage current measurement 0.00 nA to 2.00 mA
- Automatic PI (Polarization Index), DAR (Dielectric Absorption Ratio) and DD (Dielectric Discharge) calculation for predictive maintenance
- Capacitance measurement
- CAT IV 1000V / CAT III 2000V safety rating
- Bluetooth wireless via Z3210 for data management
- IP40²·³ dustproof and waterproof
- 1.7 kg — designed for field portability
Advanced Insulation Diagnostics
In addition to PV-specific testing, the IR5051 automatically calculates PI (Polarization Index) and DAR (Dielectric Absorption Ratio) for predictive maintenance on motors, generators and transformers, with DD (Dielectric Discharge) and capacitance measurement providing further diagnostic depth on large equipment.
Applications
Solar PV string and array insulation testing, EV charging station safety testing, high-voltage motor and cable testing, substation equipment maintenance. Essential for solar installation companies and O&M service providers operating PV plants across India.
Why Standard Insulation Testers Cannot Test PV Systems
Conventional insulation testers apply test voltage between the conductor and earth. PV systems are ungrounded — there is no fixed earth reference. Using a standard tester can damage the system and give false readings. The IR5051 uses a floating measurement circuit that tests safely without an earth connection.
