SM-8200 Digital Super Megohmmeter

The SM-8200 Digital Super Megohmmeter series are insulation resistance meters consisting of a constant voltage power supply and a high sensitivity current measuring element, and are designed to measure the electrical resistance of insulation materials with high insulating properties. When paired with super megohmmeters, the Hioki-SM8310 can measure the surface and volume resistance of plate samples. It is particularly useful when high insulation resistance cannot be properly measured due to effects from noise and induction hum in the measuring environment.
