Marked measurement category

Not recorded

The record has no confirmed CAT category and voltage pair. A marking in a photograph cannot fill that gap.

The buying trap. Confirm the exact model’s manual before considering it for mains measurements.

Insulation test voltages
50 V, 100 V, 250 V, 500 V and 1000 V fixed ranges, plus a user-variable range from 10 V to 1000 V in 1 V steps
Insulation resistance range
2 GΩ to 200 GΩ depending on test voltage (10 GΩ at 50 V up to 200 GΩ at 1000 V)
Test voltage accuracy
Stabilised, feedback-controlled output held within -0% +2%, versus the 10 to 20% overvoltage typical of industry-standard testers
Continuity range
Single auto-ranging 0.01 Ω to 1 MΩ, with 200 mA or 20 mA test currents and lead null up to 9.00 Ω
Voltage measurement
True RMS AC and DC, 0.0 mV to 600 V, with frequency display 15 Hz to 400 Hz
PI and DAR
Polarization Index (10 min / 1 min) and Dielectric Absorption Ratio (60 s / 15 s and 60 s / 30 s) functions, with timed testing
Capacitance measurement
1 nF to 10 μF, ±5% ±2 digits (0.1 nF to 1 nF unspecified)
Result storage
Over 1000 test results stored on the instrument, transferable to a CSV file (Bluetooth download is on the MIT430/2)
Live circuit protection
Insulation testing is inhibited on live circuits above a user-set 25/30/50/75/100 V (default 50 V); protection works even if the fuse has failed
Safety standards
Meets IEC 61010 and EN 61557; EN 61010-1 to 600 V phase to earth, Category IV; IP54
Power
6 x AA alkaline or NiMH rechargeable cells; minimum 3000 insulation tests at 1000 V (5 s on / 55 s off duty cycle)
Dimensions and weight
228 x 108 x 63 mm (9.00 x 4.25 x 2.32 in); 600 g (1.32 lb), 1.75 kg with carry case
Included accessories
Red/black silicone test leads with probes and clips, SP5 remote switch probe, 6 x AA alkaline batteries, carry case, calibration certificate (order code 1004-739)
Fuse
1 x 500 mA (FF) 1000 V 32 x 6 mm ceramic high-breaking-capacity fuse (min. 30 kA); glass fuses must not be fitted

Watch out

  • The MIT420/2 has no Bluetooth; only the MIT430/2 does.
  • Check the order code: the US MIT420/2 is 1004-739.

Why people pick it

  • Measures insulation resistance up to 200 GΩ at 1000 V, one of the highest ceilings in its class, per the maker's data sheet
  • Feedback-controlled test voltage is held within -0% +2%, so it does not over-stress sensitive circuits the way 10 to 20% over-voltage outputs can
  • Stores over 1000 test results on the instrument, which is why this site's insulation-tester guide picks it for local result recall
  • Single auto-ranging continuity function from 0.01 Ω to 1 MΩ makes continuity testing faster than switching ranges

Know before you buy

  • No Bluetooth download; transferring stored results requires the MIT430/2 or a CSV workflow, per the maker's data sheet
  • Insulation testing only, not a general-purpose multimeter: no current or amp measurements
  • Premium specialist instrument; a basic insulation job only needs 500 V testing
  • Weight of 600 g before the carry case makes it bulkier than pocket testers
