UT503PV Solar Pro PV Insulation Tester

The UT503PV is built for solar work: it measures insulation resistance on live photovoltaic systems at up to DC 1000 V, so a string can be tested without taking the array offline or short-circuiting panels — including after dark. It tests to IEC 62446 with test voltages from 125 V to 1000 V and a measurement range up to 4000 MΩ, and it's rated CAT II 1000 V / CAT III 600 V with an IP54 sealed body for outdoor use.

Stepped-voltage testing, a comparison function, automatic discharge, and a high-voltage alarm cover the safety and diagnostic basics, while 1000 result sets store on-board and transfer over USB or a Bluetooth app for commissioning reports. It's backed by UNI-T's nearly 40 years of test-meter manufacturing.

Live PV Insulation Testing

The UT503PV measures insulation resistance on energized photovoltaic strings up to DC 1000 V, so you can verify a system without disconnecting it or short-circuiting panels — and because it doesn't depend on irradiance, testing works after dark when the array is at a stable voltage.

Built to IEC 62446

Test voltages from 125 V to 1000 V and a 4000 MΩ range follow the IEC 62446 framework for commissioning and periodic verification of PV installations, giving a documented insulation result for sign-off.

Safety for High-Voltage DC

Automatic discharge clears stored charge after each test, a high-voltage alarm warns of live leads, and the CAT II 1000 V / CAT III 600 V rating with an IP54 sealed body suits outdoor rooftop and ground-mount work in the field.

Documentation & Connectivity

Store up to 1000 result sets and transfer them by USB or a Bluetooth app, with a comparison function for pass/fail thresholds — practical for commissioning packs and recurring maintenance records.

Applications

Solar PV installation and commissioning to IEC 62446; periodic insulation checks on operating arrays; EV-charging and battery-energy-storage DC wiring verification; and rooftop and ground-mount maintenance where live testing avoids taking a system offline.
