HIOKI IR5051 5kV Insulation Tester | High Voltage Megohmmeter
The HIOKI IR5051 is a high voltage insulation tester delivering up to 5,000 V DC and measuring insulation resistance up to 10 TΩ. With built-in PI and DAR calculations, auto-discharge, and five selectable test voltages, it is engineered for the insulation testing of HV motors, generators, power cables, transformers, and switchgear. Supplied by Hinco Instruments across Perth and Western Australia.
The HIOKI IR5051 High Voltage Insulation Tester applies up to 5,000 V DC and measures insulation resistance up to 10 TΩ. Polarisation Index (PI) and Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR) calculations support the condition assessment of high-voltage motors and cables.
The HIOKI IR5051 insulation tester is engineered for the insulation testing of high-voltage electrical assets including large motors, generators, power cables, transformers, and switchgear. With selectable test voltages of 250 V, 500 V, 1,000 V, 2,000 V, and 5,000 V DC, it covers the full range of HV insulation test requirements to AS/NZS and IEC standards.
The IR5051 automatically calculates the Polarisation Index (PI) and Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR) — two key indicators of insulation condition that go beyond a simple spot resistance reading and reveal whether insulation is contaminated, deteriorating, or moisture-affected. An auto-discharge function safely dissipates stored charge after testing, which is an important safety requirement when testing high-capacitance assets. Hinco provides professional calibration services to keep the IR5051 performing to specification.

Test and Measurement Support
Hinco Instruments supplies HIOKI test and measurement equipment across Perth and Western Australia. With over 70 years of instrumentation expertise, we also provide professional calibration services to support accurate and reliable measurement performance.
The HIOKI 3288-20 True RMS AC/DC Clamp Meter measures up to 500 A on both AC and DC circuits, with inrush current capture for motor start-up analysis — ideal for solar, industrial, and mixed power systems.
The HIOKI 3481-20 is a non-contact AC voltage detector that confirms the presence of live voltage from 100 V to 600 V without direct conductor contact. Passive design — no battery required.
The HIOKI 3490 Analog MΩ Hitester is a robust analog insulation resistance tester with selectable 500 V and 1,000 V test voltages, suitable for fast and reliable insulation checks in the field.
