Abstract
An object of the present invention is to easily, quickly and precisely measure an insulation resistance of an capacitor. An insulation resistance measurement apparatus of the present invention includes a variable/constant-voltage power source, voltmeter, intermittent circuit and constant-current supply circuit, constant-current sink circuit, test capacitor, current amplifier, and A/D converter and calculation processor. The intermittent circuit and constant-current supply circuit intermittently output a current based on a voltage supplied from variable/constant-voltage power source. When a constant voltage is intermittently applied to the test capacitor, the current flowing through the test capacitor is amplified by the current amplifier, and subsequently inputted to the A/D converter and calculation processor. The A/D converter and calculation processor convert an analog current measured value to a digital measured value, subject the value to a calculation processing and intermittently output an insulation resistance value. Thereby, the insulation resistance can precisely be measured in a short time.
