A megger would not be suitable for testing insulation resistance of a 13.2-kV transformer, as the transformer's voltage rating is significantly higher than the output voltage from a megger.
Briefly, a megger test is testing an electric circuit at load. The circuit might prove good at normal resistance measuring but fails when applying high voltage. Read the megger result correctly, every electric circuit will fail if stressed high enough. Disconnect any servo drive or frequency controller before testing.

A megger is an instrument that generates a high voltage. That high voltage is then used for measuring insulation resistance, especially that of electrical devices.
By Megger testing (meggering) of the motor any one can measure the IR of the motor. MEGGER is a device used to measure IR. Analog Megger device may generate 500 volts..it gives coil to coil or coil to body IR value...it should not be less than 2 Mega ohm, generally it should be or kept more than 5 mega ohm...thanks ...DEEPAK RAJPUT

A bridge megger can be used for resistance measurement and fault locationIt is so known because it measures high (mega-ohm) resistances, and uses a bridge circuit, which is suited to this type of measurement.Visit Test Equipment Connection for new and refurbished Megger Testing Equipment

It is the terminal on the megger that the ground cable connect to when testing a device to ground.
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.
The Megger MFT 1552 is a combined electrical circuit tester which includes test features for Insulation testing, Earth loop impedance tests, RCD Testing and Continuity testing. It comes supplies with full Calibration Certificate.

The megger is used to find insulation resistance in any equipement. It will generate around 10kVA power to test.
A megger is a testing device used to test the insulation integrity of conductors. It measures resistance. It is terribly imprecise so actual readings are difficult to determine. Any passable reading will approach infinity (meaning almost infinite resistance) since there should be no flow of electricity from one conductor to another or from one conductor to ground.
A megger device produces hundreds of volts in order to provide resistance values in the order of hundreds to thousands of megohm. The DC volts produced by a megger can and will harm humans.
