Description
The KV5-100 MK3 Test Set is designed to test insulation systems and measures breakdown voltage on electrical components. It adjusts output voltage from zero to 5kV and accurately meters output voltage and current. An interlock energizes the output only when voltage control is zero.
Two analogue instruments meter output voltage and load current. Output voltage displays on a dual-scale marking of 0-3kV and 0-6kV. Load current has a 0-10 scale marking with selectable ranges: 0-10mA and 0-100mA.
An adjustable current trip, linked to the current metering range, safeguards the test object and output. The trip level is customizable from 20-120% in 20% increments. Audible and visible indications signal test object breakdown. The alarm requires manual reset before resuming testing.
The portable KV5-100 MK3 AC Test Set includes permanently connected test leads terminated in crocodile clips. For enhanced safety, use it with an interlocked test enclosure. It’s an essential tool for precise and reliable testing in the electrical industry.
Our partners, such as Acutest, Alpha Electronics, Cuthbertson Laird, Norwich Instrument Services, and PASS Ltd offer the KV5-100 Mk3 in the United Kingdom. Additionally, if you are located outside Great Britain, you can conveniently order the product through our worldwide distribution network.

Thomas Taylor –
I like this instrument but you need to treat it with care. I would love to see it with digital meters.
Ava Wilson –
My colleagues use a Mk2 weekly and I make sure it is always calibrated. T&R is always happy to help on that aspect. One thing all of us agree is that it could use digital meters.
Henrik Jensen –
Funny enough, we have 3 of these. From Mk1 to Mk3 this product always delivers
