Insulation Testing is a Part of Power, Energy, Green, Solar Systems as well. It is an Important part of Product Safety.

Megohmmeters/Insulation - AMEC

Read - Understanding Insulation Resistance Testing
AEMC is an industry leader in current measurement probes, power quality analyzers, ground resistance testers and insulation resistance testers. It was Founded in 1893.



AEMC Instruments - 200 Foxborough Blvd., Foxborough, MA 02035 USA

Seen above is the Megohmmeter from AEMC. 6505 is a portable battery/mains powered instrument in a rugged field case.

This Features include automatic calculation and presentation of the Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR) and Polarization Index (PI). The Model 6505 displays the test voltage, insulation resistance and the leakage current during the test.

Quad-Differential-Comparator-LM339-TI

These devices consist of four independent voltage comparators that are designed to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages. Operation from dual supplies also is possible, as long as the difference between the two supplies is 2 V to 36 V, and V_CC is at least 1.5 V more positive than the input common-mode voltage.

Quad General Purpose Differential Comparator - LM339

An application from an old TI datasheet showing the versatility of this comparator. For me it was a workhorse and like LM324 was used in many products.

 
Current drain is independent of the supply voltage. The outputs can be connected to other open-collector outputs to achieve wired-AND relationships.
