Normally the megger should be selected based on the following criteria. 1.Voltage rating of the megger 2.Range of the megger value 3.Manual - Hand operated analogue type 4.Auto- Digital Megger To measure the insualtion resistance of Motor (LV Motors) Up to 500 V/1000 V Megger is sufficient To measure the insualtion resistance of Motor (HV Motors) Up to 5000 V can be choosen Normaly the range starts from 0.5 to Infinity meg value in the analogue However in digital the based on the least count /range of the instrument we can able to measure the insualtion value.
It is measurement done by megger tool of measurement .
Megger Group Limited's population is 1,500.
megger are available in ac &dc
Megger Group Limited was created in 1889.
I did them with a 1,000 volt megger .
It is the terminal on the megger that the ground cable connect to when testing a device to ground.
Megger tests are important because the test makes sure that your electrical insulation is safe and operating as intended. Megger tests are performed using a Meg-ohmmeter.
A good number on a megger test should be around 2 megohms.
The value of insulation resistance varies according to the type of CT and manufacturer. It is best to check with the manufacturer for acceptable values. The word 'Megger' is a registered trademark of Megger Limited. Megger Limited's product range includes insulation testers, relay testers, battery testers and many other electrical test and measurement products. Tony Wills, Applications Engineer, Megger Ltd.
Megger testers can be purchased online at the Grainger website. Once on the page, type "Megger" into the search field at the top of the page and press enter to bring up the products.
No, you cannot use a multimeter in place of a megger. The megger is used to measure insulation resistance, which could be hundreds of megohms or so. In order to do that, you need a high voltage so as to develop the current needed to sense the resistance. Using an ordinary multimeter would not work as the applied voltage is not high enough, causing the sensed current to be too small to detect.
