We can distinguish different families of electrical insulation meters:
Ground isolation measures. To determine the resistance of the ground in installations through Wenner method or similar.
Measurement of the isolation resistance in components, equipment, etc. According to rule IEC611010-1.
Measurement of specific resistance like aeronautic insulation meters or pyrotechnic ohmmeters.
Micrometres for calculations of resistance in the cable industry, small electrical equipment, etc.
