Insulation Testers are suited for telecom and CATV market.
November 6, 2008 -
Able to be operated with one hand, MIT410TC and MIT430 let users determine insulation condition of twisted copper cable pair. Main parameter measurement is shown on primary display, in digital and analog forms, while secondary display shows related parameter as digital value. Used to conduct insulation resistance and continuity tests, meters have 20-200 GW measurement range and include bed of nails test lead set. Adjustable insulation test voltages range from 250-1,000 or 50-1,000 V.

Compact Insulation Testers for Telecomms and CATV
Small enough to be used with one hand yet rugged enough to withstand the rigors of regular use in the field, the latest insulation testers in Megger's MIT400 range are available in two versions - MIT410TC and MIT430 - optimized to meet the needs of users in the telecommunications and CATV industries. Unique telecommunications-related features include a soft canvas carrying bag with shoulder strap and rugged snap hook to attach to a tool belt, and a "bed of nails" test lead set.
The instruments allow the user to determine the condition of the insulation of the twisted copper cable pair, which could cause problems for services such as voice, video, and data or VOIP. When the insulation becomes weak or brittle, causing cracks or exposing copper within the cable, or water ingresses into the cable, the insulation resistance test will identify these situations immediately. In addition to the insulation resistance test, the meters allow the operator to conduct continuity tests throughout the customer's premise.
As an aid to ease and speed of use, the instruments feature a dual display. The primary display shows the main parameter being measured - for example, insulation resistance - in both digital and analogue forms, while the secondary display shows a related parameter - for example, leakage current - as a digital value. Users therefore save valuable time by measuring two parameters with a single test.
The MIT410-TC and MIT430 offer CAT IV 600 V rating, providing greater safety when testing at higher voltage levels. In addition, the units feature adjustable insulation test voltages, which provide 250 V to 1000 V or 50 V to 1000 V. The model MIT430 offers extensive results storage capability for later recall and Bluetooth download capability for wireless transfer of stored results to a PC.
An exceptional measurement range from 20 G-ohms to 200 G-ohms found in the MIT410-TC and MIT430 is the highest insulation test range available on the market, providing a superior range of measurement applications.
