SXS500/506 Electrical Safety Tester

SXS500/506 Electrical Safety Tester

The SXS500/506 is an electrical safety tester which combines the functions of a dielectric strength tester with the functions of a megohmmeter and a ground continuity tester. It can also carry out leakage current measurement when used with a FMG rack.
