When it is necessary to complete Insulation Resistance (IR) testing on cables, transformers, motors/generators, circuit breakers and bushings look to Megger’s DC insulation testers.
The Megger MIT525 5-kV Insulation Resistance Tester and the Megger MIT1025 10-kV Insulation Resistance Tester have a full suite of test modes as well as on-board memory and the ability to stream data/download data to a PC/laptop.
Instrument productivity is a focus of the MIT range which offers rapid charge batteries and operation from an AC source if the batteries are flat. Rapid charge batteries enable > 60 minutes testing after a 30 minute charge.
Safety rating is not compromised on the MIT525 and the MIT1025 range with all terminals safety rated to CATIV 600 V to 3000 m (5 kV, 10 kV or CATIV 1000 V to 3000 m (15 kV). A range of 5 kV and 10 kV test leads are available plus dedicated 15 kV test leads which are double insulated with clips designed for 15 kV creepage paths.
The Megger MIT525 and MIT1025 also perform spot tests, step voltage tests, dielectric discharge tests, ramp tests and dielectric absorption tests for the following applications:
• Acceptance testing at installation to check conformance to specifications
• Routine preventative/predictive maintenance testing after installation
• QA testing as part of the manufacturing process
• Diagnostic testing to isolate faulty components for repair
