Chauvin Arnoux CA6522 Insulation & Continuity Tester – up to 40 GΩ, 1 kV, CAT IV 600V

Overview
The Chauvin Arnoux CA6522 is designed for engineers, electricians, and maintenance professionals who require accurate and reliable diagnostics of insulation integrity and continuity in industrial environments. With its robust safety rating (CAT IV 600V), high insulation resistance range (up to 40 GΩ), and selectable test voltages up to 1 kV, the CA6522 enables thorough testing of equipment, cables, and installations to detect insulation degradation or faults. Its ergonomic design, backlit dual-display with bargraph, and multiple testing modes make it suitable for harsh environments and field use.

Key Features

• High test voltage range: selectable 250 V / 500 V / 1,000 V, adaptable to different insulation requirements.

• Wide insulation measurement range up to 40 GΩ for detecting very high insulation resistance.

• Multiple test modes: Manual, Lock, Timer, plus PI & DAR ratio calculation to assess insulation condition.

• Continuity testing: 200 mA test current with active protection when external voltage is present.

• Multi-parameter measurement: Voltage (AC/DC up to ~700 V), frequency (15.3-800 Hz), resistance, ΔRel mode, configurable alarms.

• Robust safety and durability: CAT IV 600 V rating, IP54 / IK04 protection, ergonomic casing, magnetic stand, strong grip TEST button.

• Data storage and software: stores about 300 measurements (up to 1,300 in communicating versions); optional software tools for export and reporting.

Applications

• Periodic insulation testing in industrial plants to prevent failures due to insulation breakdown.

• Maintenance and commissioning of electrical installations such as motors, switchgear, and transformers.

• Testing insulation in harsh environments, including outdoor or poorly lit areas.

• Testing continuity and verifying voltage absence in control panels and power distribution.

• Troubleshooting insulation problems in utilities, manufacturing, and service industries.

【FAQ】

Q1: What is the maximum insulation resistance the CA6522 can measure?
A1: The CA6522 can measure up to 40 GΩ of insulation resistance when using its full test voltage of 1,000 V.

Q2: Which safety category and protection levels does the CA6522 meet?
A2: It complies with CAT IV 600 V safety category and features IP54 / IK04 protection.

Q3: What test voltages are available?
A3: Standard test voltages are 250 V, 500 V, and 1,000 V. It also supports PI & DAR ratio calculations for deeper insulation assessment.

Q4: Can the CA6522 perform continuity testing safely when voltage is present?
A4: Yes. It offers continuity testing at 200 mA and includes active protection that stops the measurement if dangerous external voltage is detected.

Q5: How much data can be stored?
A5: The standard version stores about 300 measurement values, while communicating versions can store up to about 1,300.
