Learn more by watching our Kyoritsu 3132A | Insulation & Continuity Tester video.
The Kyoritsu 3132A is a hand-held analogue insulation and continuity tester with selectable 250V, 500V, and 1000V DC insulation test ranges, a 3 Ohm continuity range, and an extended 500 Ohm 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 Kyoritsu 3132A is the unit most often specified for apprentices sitting their A-grade exam and licensed sparkies running daily IR and continuity checks. Contractors choose it as the analogue meter that does not need a software licence kept up to date. It runs off six AA batteries, weighs around 560g, and ships with test leads, alligator clips, spare fuses, and a carry case.
For sparkies after a reliable workhorse that survives years on the truck, the 3132A is the meter most veterans carry. The 200mA continuity test current meets IEC 61557-4 for verifying earth bonding at trade-relevant resistances. The analogue needle picks up movement on intermittent insulation faults that a digital display averages out. The Kyoritsu 3132A is supplied under Eaton's Australian distribution network and is covered by Sparky Direct's 1-year domestic and commercial warranty.
The 3132A measures insulation resistance, continuity, and AC voltage only. It does not perform loop impedance, RCD trip-time, or earth fault loop testing, so a multi-function installation tester is still needed to cover the full AS/NZS 3017 verification suite.
The Kyoritsu 3132A has 110 verified buyer reviews on BazaarVoice with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5. The excerpts below are drawn from those reviews and selected to show real-world use cases across apprentices, licensed sparkies, contractors, and training organisations.
"This a great tester and robust have had one in the past... The battery life last about six months which is good for everyday testing. I give it a good 5/5" — Chris, verified BazaarVoice review, December 2025
"I used the Kyoritsu 3132A for my REL assessment, and both it and I succeeded with flying colours. The only con is that it goes off zero calibration for the 3 ohm range if left on for a while or used extensively." — Arne, verified BazaarVoice review, August 2025
Sparky Direct response: The 3 Ohm continuity range on the 3132A includes a zero-adjust function on the front panel that re-nulls trailing lead resistance between tests. Re-zeroing before each continuity reading takes a couple of seconds and corrects the drift Arne describes during extended use.
"the kyoritsu 3132A is the most reliable ir tester around and used for your a grade exam at end of your apprenticeship so definitely worththe money." — Owen, verified BazaarVoice review, August 2025
"this is my second Kyoritsu (first one was over 12 years old) and it's a good mid-range piece of testing equipment that doesn't let you down. In my previous job I had 86 electrical apprentices, and they were all issued a Kyoritsu. It stood the test of time with very little trouble." — Don, verified BazaarVoice review, May 2025
"The simple workhorse, every sparky who knows the game knows you cant beat a analogue megger when trying to pick a intermittent fault." — Fabes, verified BazaarVoice review, April 2024
"Great product in terms of use, very compact, only wish that the leads had a better storage place like other IR testers where they are in the case of the tester instead of a seperate case." — Callam, verified BazaarVoice review, April 2024
Sparky Direct response: The 3132A ships with the model 7122B test leads in a separate pouch rather than a moulded recess in the meter housing. Sparkies who prefer everything in one place can store the lead pouch inside the carry case, which has room for the meter, leads, and spare fuses together.
"Have used the Kyoritsu for years and have purchased a personal stay at home just recently from Sparky Direct. Reliable well constructed test gear." — Micheal, verified BazaarVoice review, December 2022
(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.
