UNI-T UT513C 5kV Insulation Resistance Tester
Overview
The UT513C is the top of the UT513 line: CAT IV 600 V, test voltages from 250 V to 5 kV, and insulation resistance up to 5 TΞ© β the widest range in the family, for high-resistance modern insulation on transformers, large machines, and long cable systems. It adds capacitance measurement from 0.01 Β΅F to 15 Β΅F and a Bluetooth app alongside USB.
It runs the full diagnostic set β Polarization Index, Dielectric Absorption Ratio, a 0 sβ99 m 59 s timer, and 10%-of-range stepped-voltage profiling β with live leakage display, automatic discharge, and a high-voltage alarm. Results store 999 sets and move to phone or PC. It's backed by UNI-T's nearly 40 years of test-meter manufacturing.

UT513C Details
5 TΞ© Measurement Range
The UT513C reads insulation resistance up to 5 TΞ© β the widest in the UT513 family β so high-resistance modern insulation on large transformers and long cable runs stays on-scale where lower-range testers top out.
PI, DAR & Stepped-Voltage Profiling
The full timed-diagnostic set runs here: PI and DAR separate sound insulation from moisture and contamination, while 10% stepped-voltage profiling stresses the dielectric in stages to expose marginal insulation a fixed reading would pass.
Capacitance Measurement
Built-in capacitance measurement from 0.01 Β΅F to 15 Β΅F adds context to insulation work β useful for characterizing cable and winding capacitance alongside the resistance reading.
Bluetooth App & USB
Beyond on-board storage of 999 result sets, the UT513C pairs to a Bluetooth app for live readout and report capture in the field, with USB transfer to a PC for records.
Safety & Field Build
Automatic discharge and a high-voltage alarm handle the hazards of 5 kV testing; the CAT IV 600 V rating and a 14.8 V 5200 mAh rechargeable pack suit full days on industrial and utility equipment.
