In effect a hand crank megger is a generator. It generates a DC voltage that is used to test insulation conditions, by applying a higher that normal insulation value voltage to the material under test.

My apologies if my addition has already been published, for it's by no means clear what Answers actually does with amendments - as far as I can see here it rejected my first attempt which was more-or-less as follows:
Yes, a 'Megger' (actually its trade-mark) contains a d.c. generator but I would not recommend using it as such, for it's designed to create a high voltage at very low current, so trying to use it as a power source may simply ruin it.
What else can I help you with?
How the megger test in dIESEL GENERator?
The megger test, or insulation resistance test, in a diesel generator is performed to assess the integrity of the insulation in the generator's windings and associated electrical components. By applying a high DC voltage (typically 500V or 1000V) through a megohmmeter, the test measures the resistance of the insulation; a value above 1 megohm is generally considered acceptable. This test helps identify potential insulation failures, moisture ingress, or deterioration, ensuring safe and reliable operation of the generator. Regular megger testing is essential for preventive maintenance and to avoid unexpected breakdowns.
How do you do a megger test on a current transformer?
The megger test on a generator is usually done to check the insulation factor of a generator. The high voltage is usually used to test the insulation system of a the generator in question. It is recommended to do this test after every six months.
Where can one find information about AVO from Megger?
There are various channels that one can use to find information about AVO from Megger. One is the use of the internet. Sites like Wikipedia and Megger Networks provide this information. Some magazines also print this information.

Main part of a megger?
The main part of a megger, or insulation resistance tester, is its high-voltage generator, which produces a test voltage to measure the insulation resistance of electrical systems and components. It also includes a sensitive galvanometer or digital display to indicate the resistance value. Additionally, megger devices typically have test leads and terminals that connect to the circuit under test, allowing for accurate readings of insulation quality.

Why you use DC in megger?
There are different types of megger, which is simply a trade name for a range of different instruments. Not all meggers use d.c., for example, an earth-resistance megger uses a.c. On the other hand, an insulation-resistance megger uses d.c. because it applies a constant test voltage across the insulation being tested.
