Megger Makes Insulation Testing Safe for Industry



In industrial applications where high-energy transients in electrical supply systems are by no means uncommon, Megger's new MIT400-range of insulation testers with their Category IV 600V rating in line with IEC61010, provide users with and invaluable extra level of safety.

Safe to use in all normal service and maintenance operations, even close to the source of supply where transient levels are highest, MIT400 testers feature exceptionally rugged construction that ensure long reliable service even in demanding industrial environments.

Despite their tough construction, the testers are sufficiently compact to allow easy one-handed operation with either hand. Designed from the outset to be fast and easy to use, all models incorporate a convenient dual digital display, plus an analogue arc.

The main display shows the principal parameter being measured - for example, insulation resistance - in both digital format and as an analogue arc, while the smaller secondary display shows a related parameter - for example, insulation test voltage - as a digital value. Users therefore save valuable time by measuring two parameters with a single test.

In addition to versatile insulation testing facilities, MIT400 insulation testers also offer timesaving fast-response continuity testing and true RMS voltage measurement that provides accurate results even when the supply waveform is non-sinusoidal.

For industrial applications, Megger offers its new MIT400 testers in four versions.

The entry level MIT400 provides insulation testing at 250V, 500V and 1,000V, together with continuity testing and voltage measurement. The MIT410 adds 50V and 100 V insulation tests, as well as fully automatic measurement of dielectric absorption (DAR) and polarisation index (PI), while the MIT420 provides all of the facilities of the MIT420 plus internal storage for test results. Stored results can subsequently be recalled to the screen to allow easy recording.

At the top of the range is the versatile MIT430, which not only stores test results but also allows them to be transferred to a PC via a Bluetooth wireless connection. This arrangement completely eliminates the need for data cables, and also guarantees total electrical isolation between the instrument and the PC to which the data is being transferred.

Special-purpose MIT400 models are also available for insulation testing at low voltages, for example on sensitive IT systems, and for applications in telecommunications systems.
