Abstract
Abstract Device for measuring insulating and voltage resistant characteristics of articles such as a high voltage cable wherein a low battery voltage in converted into a high direct current voltage with the aid of successive stages of oscillator, transformer and rectifier circuits whose output is applied across an article to be measured. The input bias of a transistor is changed in a manner such that the output of the circuits is made a given value whereby the insulating and voltage resistant characteristics of the article are measured by observing the indication of a voltmeter and ammeter.
