What is a megger in a welding company?
A megger, or insulation resistance tester, is a device used in welding companies to measure the insulation resistance of electrical equipment and cables. It helps ensure that the insulation is adequate to prevent electrical leaks, which is crucial for safety and proper equipment functioning. By applying a high voltage, usually in the range of 250V to 1000V, the megger determines the integrity of the insulation, helping to identify potential issues before they lead to failures or hazards. Regular testing with a megger is essential for maintaining equipment reliability and safety in welding operations.

How dangerous is vermiculite plus asbestos insulation?
Vermiculite insulation containing asbestos is about as dangerous as any other type of insulation that contains asbestos.
