Megger 5 kV & 10 kV Insulation Testers<br />

Where critical, high-capital equipment is <strong>in</strong>volved, the <strong>in</strong>troduction<br />

of new and improved <strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g materials is re-writ<strong>in</strong>g the book on<br />

<strong>in</strong>sulation test<strong>in</strong>g. Equipment with operat<strong>in</strong>g voltages above 1 kV requires<br />

commensurately higher test voltages. Modern materials, when new or<br />

early <strong>in</strong> their life cycles, can have <strong>in</strong>sulation values <strong>in</strong>to ranges that were<br />

previously unmeasured. Your old <strong>in</strong>sulation tester may not be fully adequate<br />

to meet the demands of a rigorous and thorough program of preventive/<br />

predictive ma<strong>in</strong>tenance on modern equipment.<br />

To be fully <strong>in</strong> conformance with the most modern test<strong>in</strong>g requirements,<br />

Megger offers a family of the highest quality <strong>in</strong>sulation testers at voltages<br />

above 1 kV. At the core of high-voltage test<strong>in</strong>g...5 kV...the MIT510 and<br />

MIT520 afford the highest level of quality test<strong>in</strong>g along with prime safety,<br />

convenience and portability. MIT510 offers selectable test voltages at<br />

250, 500, 1000, 2500, and 5000 V, thereby mak<strong>in</strong>g the tester suitable for<br />

applications otherwise performed with a standard handheld model, <strong>in</strong><br />

addition to the more demand<strong>in</strong>g high-voltage applications. The MIT520<br />

<strong>in</strong>creases the functionality by permitt<strong>in</strong>g test voltage to be set <strong>in</strong> any<br />

10 V <strong>in</strong>crement from 50 V to 1 kV, then <strong>in</strong> 25 V steps all the way to 5 kV.<br />

The testers measure to 15 Tera-ohms, thereby mak<strong>in</strong>g them fully suitable<br />

for critical <strong>in</strong>stallation tests and establishment of reliable base data for new<br />

high-capital equipment. Test results are displayed on Megger’s patented<br />

electronic digital/analog arc, thereby afford<strong>in</strong>g the precision and assurance<br />

of a digital read<strong>in</strong>g comb<strong>in</strong>ed with the tell-tale po<strong>in</strong>ter travel normally<br />

reserved for mechanical movements.<br />
