BENNING IT 130

BENNING IT 130 Installation Tester

The BENNING IT 130 is a professional-grade electrical installation tester designed for the rigorous inspection of electrical systems up to 1000 V. It complies with the German DIN VDE 0100 standard and is ISO‑calibrated, ensuring that every measurement meets international safety requirements.

Core Functions and Measurement Capabilities

• True RMS Accuracy: The device measures true root‑mean‑square values for voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, and inductance. This guarantees precise readings even with non‑sinusoidal waveforms.
• Voltage Range: 0 – 1000 V AC/DC, suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial installations.
• Current Measurement: Up to 10 A with a built‑in clamp meter function, allowing non‑contact current detection.
• Resistance & Capacitance: Measures up to 1 MΩ resistance and 1000 µF capacitance, essential for insulation testing.
• Inductance: Up to 10 mH, useful for checking cable integrity.
• Leakage Current (RCD/FI) Testing: Supports FI‑Type B and Type B+ tests with adjustable thresholds up to 30 mA.

Compliance & Certification Features

The tester is VDE‑0100 compliant, meaning it adheres to the German safety standard for electrical installations. Additionally, the device is ISO‑calibrated, providing traceable accuracy and enabling users to generate certified test reports.

Data Management & Connectivity

• USB Interface: Connects directly to a PC for data transfer, firmware updates, and report generation.
• RS‑232 Port: Optional serial communication for integration into larger testing systems.
• Built‑in Storage: Records up to 10 000 test entries, allowing offline operation and later review.
• Software Package: Includes a user-friendly application that exports results in PDF, CSV, or XML formats, facilitating documentation for compliance audits.

Physical Design & Power Supply

The tester features a rugged, ergonomic chassis with a large, high‑contrast display and tactile buttons. It operates on 6 × AA (Mignon) batteries, ensuring portability for field inspections without the need for external power sources.

Origin & Manufacturing Quality
