Quick Start Guide

Product introduction

THINKCAR CE EVC201 Insulation Tester (hereinafter referred to as insulation tester) is an instrument for measuring the insulation characteristics of power motors, power batteries, power cables, high-voltage switches and mutual inductors of new energy vehicles. It adopts high performance embedded processor and real time operating system, with high deagree of automation, strong anti-interference ability, and automatic calculation of absorption ratio and polarization index. It is suitable for the necessary insulation characteristics inspection during the maintenance of new energy vehicles, reducing the safety risks caused by aging and damage of insulation problems when users maintain and test various types of equipment, and improving maintenance efficiency.
