From our humble beginnings back in 1936, as a repair company servicing panel meters and instruments, Associated Research soon became a manufacturer, when founder James Inman designed the Vibrotest. The Vibrotest was the first battery operated insulation resistance tester ever created and became standard issue on all U.S. Navy ships during WWII. This was the first of what would become many firsts for AR.

With the increase of electrical products during the post-war economic boom, AR was again on the leading edge, this time with Hipot Testers. Hipot testing indeed became the company's forte. AR has continued to innovate and develop more advanced, automation compatible, multi-function units in the field of compliance safety testing.

AR has positioned itself as a "strategic vendor" with the broadest line of products in the industry. Our product lines span all market segments in the safety compliance industry including basic manual, semi-automated and fully automated instruments. AR is indeed a one-stop shop for all of your safety testing needs.

Our instruments include High Voltage Dielectric Withstand Analyzers, Hipot Testers, Ground Bond testers, Line Leakage testers, Functional Run testers, Insulation Resistance testers, Switching Matrixes, and Custom Instruments. Our newest instruments include our OMNIA™ and Hypot™ III. Both instruments feature an enhanced graphic LCD which makes testing safer, easier, and more reliable than ever before. OMNIA™ is a fully automated, multi-function, 6-in-1 safety analyzer while Hypot™ III is a mid-range bench-top hipot tester.
