        Kyoritsu 3132A | Analogue insulation and continuity tester | 250V, 500V, 1000V test ranges

        The Kyoritsu 3132A is a hand-held analogue insulation and continuity tester with selectable 250V, 500V, and 1000V insulation test ranges, a 3Ω continuity range, and a 500Ω resistance range. The 3132A is built to IEC 61010-1 safety standards with an IP54 dust and drip-proof rating, and covers the insulation resistance and continuity tests required for installation verification under AS/NZS 3017.

        The 3132A is the unit most often specified for apprentices sitting their A-grade exam, licensed sparkies running daily IR and continuity checks, and contractors who want a robust analogue meter that doesn't need calibration kept up to date with a software licence. It runs off six AA batteries, weighs around 560g, and ships with test leads, alligator clips, and a carry case.

        For sparkies after a reliable workhorse that survives years on the truck, the 3132A is the meter most veterans carry. It pairs naturally with a Kyoritsu 1009 multimeter and a KT200 clamp meter for a full installation testing kit (sold by Kyoritsu as the 6141 combo). The 3132A is supported by Kyoritsu's Australian distribution network and is the meter still issued to apprentices across the country.

        Features

        • Three insulation test voltages — 250V, 500V, and 1000V DC at 1mA rated test current
        • Insulation measuring ranges — 100MΩ at 250V, 200MΩ at 500V, 400MΩ at 1000V
        • Continuity test range — 3Ω with 200mA short-circuit test current, meets IEC 61557-4
        • Extended resistance range — 500Ω for general resistance checks beyond the continuity scale
        • AC voltage range — 0 to 600V AC with live circuit warning lamp and buzzer
        • Automatic discharge of stored circuit capacitance after every insulation test
        • Zero-adjust on the continuity range — nulls trailing lead resistance before testing
        • Lock-down test button for hands-free continuous measurement
        • Analogue scale — clear reading with no waiting for a digital display to settle
        • IP54 dust and drip-proof construction, built to IEC 61010-1 and IEC 61557
        • Powered by 6 × AA batteries (supplied), shock-resistant casing, approximately 560g
        • Supplied with test leads (model 7122B), alligator clips, spare fuses, and carry case

        Where to use the 3132A

        • New installation verification — insulation resistance and continuity tests required under AS/NZS 3017
        • Periodic testing of existing installations to detect insulation degradation before it becomes a fault
        • Apprentice toolkits — the analogue meter used in A-grade licensing exams across Australia
        • Fault finding on intermittent insulation issues, where an analogue needle picks up movement a digital display can miss
        • Switchboard, sub-board, and final sub-circuit testing during commissioning
        • Appliance and motor insulation testing — confirms winding insulation is intact before energising
        • Site work in dusty or damp conditions, where the IP54 rating earns its keep

        For loop impedance, RCD trip-time, and earth fault loop testing, the 3132A is not the right tool — use a multi-function installation tester such as the Kyoritsu 6516 or a Fluke 1664 instead. The 3132A covers insulation resistance and continuity only.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Kyoritsu 3132A Insulation & Continuity Tester (3132A)

        "I bought one for my Apprentice - they are a reliable work horse" — Steve

        "Used this brand for 7 years now and never had a problem" — Andrew

        "Good quality megger, also the best price compared to other sites" — Joe

        (3132A)

        The Kyoritsu 3132A is designed for challenging conditions, with an IP54 rating ensuring dust and drip-proof performance. It's ideal for industrial settings, construction sites, and outdoor use.

        This tester adheres to stringent IEC safety standards, features an automatic discharge of circuit capacitance post-testing, and includes a live circuit warning system, ensuring maximum safety during operation.

        Absolutely. Its compact, lightweight design and shock-resistant casing make it highly portable and durable for use in different field conditions.

        Yes, the Kyoritsu 3132A offers a range of testing capabilities, including three insulation test ranges and a 3 Ω continuity range, making it versatile for a wide array of electrical installations and appliances.

        The 3132A covers the insulation resistance and continuity tests required for installation verification under AS/NZS 3017. It does not perform RCD trip-time or earth fault loop impedance tests, so a multi-function tester is still needed for the full verification suite. The 3132A is built to IEC 61010-1, IEC 61557-1, IEC 61557-2, and IEC 61557-4.

        The 3132A is one of the most commonly issued meters for A-grade and licensing assessments across Australia. Its analogue scale, simple controls, and combined IR plus continuity functions cover the test work apprentices are examined on. Many electrical training organisations issue it as standard kit.

        Analogue needles respond instantly to changing values, which makes intermittent insulation faults easier to spot than on a digital display that averages or holds. The 3132A's scale is also easy to read in the rain or low light without waiting for a digital reading to stabilise. Many veteran sparkies keep an analogue meter for this reason.

        Field reports from customers using the meter for daily testing put battery life at around six months. The 3132A runs on six standard AA cells, which are cheap to replace and available anywhere — no proprietary battery pack. Six AAs are supplied with the meter.

        The 3132A ships with model 7122B test leads, alligator clips, six AA batteries, two spare F500mA/600V fuses, a carry case, and the instruction manual. The test leads are on a separate connector, so some sparkies prefer to store them inside the carry case rather than the meter housing.

        The 3132A measures insulation resistance, continuity, and AC voltage only — it does not test loop impedance, RCD trip times, or earth fault loop. For those tests, pair it with a dedicated loop and RCD tester, or use a multi-function installation tester to verify the full AS/NZS 3017 suite.

        The 3Ω continuity range uses a 200mA test current, meeting IEC 61557-4 for verifying earth bonding and circuit continuity at trade-relevant resistances. The 500Ω resistance range is for general resistance measurement beyond the continuity scale — useful for checking heating elements, resistive loads, and higher-value conductor checks.
