Product Description

The Decade Megohm Box DB-231 is a precision high-resistance calibration instrument designed for insulation testing, Megger applications, and high-value resistance measurements. Built with four resistance decades and additional fixed resistances up to 100 GΩ, it provides a wide, stable resistance range from 1 MΩ to 11.11 GΩ, making it ideal for laboratory and field testing.

Engineered to support high-voltage operation up to 5000 V, the DB-231 delivers reliable performance in demanding insulation and leakage-current testing environments. Lower ranges (1 MΩ to 100 MΩ) operate safely up to 1000 V, while higher ranges are fully rated for 5000 V use. The 1 MΩ and 10 MΩ dials can also operate at 5000 V when connected in series with a high-value decade, adding flexibility in high-voltage scenarios.

Constructed with nickel-plated rotary switching contacts mounted on durable fiberglass panels, the DB-231 ensures stable readings, low contact resistance, and long service life. The 1-watt power rating and ±5% accuracy make it suitable for calibration labs, test benches, R&D, and quality-control applications.

For users requiring enhanced precision, a premium variant—DB-231S with ±2% accuracy—is also available.

Compact, robust, and easy to operate, the DB-231 Decade Megohm Box is a dependable tool for anyone working with high-resistance circuits and insulation-resistance testing.
