Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that inspects and records the resistance values of electrical machinery and equipment using dedicated measuring instruments to ensure product quality and safety.
Description
Resistance testers operate measuring instruments such as ohmmeters and meggers (insulation resistance meters) to accurately measure resistance values and insulation resistance values in order to evaluate the electrical characteristics of electrical machinery and equipment. They inspect and adjust instruments according to calibration procedures, record and analyze measurement data, and confirm compliance with quality control standards. They are responsible for prototype testing in manufacturing lines or R&D departments, inspections based on safety standards and JIS/IEC standards, and when defects occur, they investigate causes and make improvement proposals.
Future Outlook
While the importance of quality assurance in manufacturing will be maintained, the introduction of automation and IoT technologies will lead to improved business efficiency, so skills in analyzing measurement data and equipment maintenance will be increasingly required in the future.
