Product presentation

15,000 V insulation tester

With its site-proof casing, the C.A 6555 insulation tester is used to check equipment insulation during manufacturing, on-site installation work, periodic inspections and recommissioning of installations.

They are ideal for electricity companies, manufacturers, installers, maintenance firms, industry, R&D centres and infrastructure.

Specially adapted for checking insulation on rotating machinery with a 12 kV power supply or higher, the C.A 6550 complies with the IEEE43
standard which recommends testing insulation at 5-10 kV.

The Megohmmeter Transfer software allows you to control the CA 6543, CA 6547, CA 6549, CA 6550 and CA 6555 megohmmeters, as well as the CA 6526, CA 6532, CA 6534 and CA 6536 models.

 

Megohmmeter Transfer is a tool that allows you to:

  • Configure the instruments,
  • Download and view data stored in memory, and save it (creating an *.icp file),
  • Take instantaneous readings,
  • Export this measurement data to DATAVIEW (*.dvb files) or to an Excel spreadsheet (*.csv or *.xls files).
DataView® is a paid ‘logical’ platform common to all products, enabling advanced analyses. However, each product has its own Control Panel (which is free to use) for carrying out simple analyses. These Control Panels can be downloaded from the relevant product’s web page or from the Support section of the website.

 

The Data® software is an essential tool for configuring, initiating measurements, viewing data in real time, retrieving recorded data and creating standard or customised measurement reports.

It constitutes a single software platform for operating the majority of Chauvin Arnoux products, including:

  • QualiStar energy analysers CA 8331, CA 8333, CA 8336, CA 8436, CA 8345
  • Power controllers CA 8220, CA 8230
  • Power and energy loggers PEL51, PEL52, PEL102, PEL103, PEL105, PEL104, PEL 106, PEL112, PEL113 & PEL 115
  • Earth testers CA 6470N, CA 6471, CA 6472
  • Insulation testers CA 6543, CA 6547, CA 6549, CA 6550, CA 6555, CA 6526, CA 6532 & CA 6534
  • Clamp meters F407, F607
  • The SIMPLE LOGGER 2 range of data loggers
  • CA 6417 earth clamps
  • CA 6116N and CA 6117 multifunction installation testers
  • DTR8510 and DTR8511 ratio meters
  • CA 1821, CA 1822 & CA 1823 thermometers
  • CA 1246 thermo-hygrometer
  • CA 1227 thermo-anemometer
  • CA 1110 lux meter
  • CA 10101 pH meter
  • CA 10141 conductivity meter
  • CA 1510 air quality analyser
  • Current and voltage recorders L411, L412 and L461

Easy to use, the Data® software automatically recognises the device connected to the PC, allowing the user to access the data stored in the device, its settings and real-time data directly.

Data® automatically generates measurement reports or creates new customised reports on demand. Finally, this tool offers numerous additional functions for the user’s convenience or for more in-depth analysis: zooming in on graphs to analyse specific sections on display; on-demand display of various recorded parameters; exporting the displayed data to Excel; linking and integrating objects (OLE), etc.

Data allows address details for customers, work sites, etc. – extracted from a database – to be automatically linked to measurement reports. The devices connect to the PC via USB, RS232, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, depending on the model.

DataView is available in the following languages: German, English, Chinese, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Czech and Turkish.
