Latest news from Megger

Designed specifically for use on underground LV cable networks, Megger’s new EZ-THUMP™ 3 cable fault location system makes it possible for even inexperienced users to accurately locate faults quickly and easily, thereby reducing the duration of power outages and the risk of costly penalties

Megger today announced that Jim Fairbairn has been appointed as the Group’s Chief Executive Officer. Jim will assume his new role immediately and will be based in its headquarters in Dover, UK. Megger is a global leader in electrical test and measurement technology for the power industry, composed of 6 core manufacturing sites, operating in over 23 countries and employing over 1,300 people worldwide.

To save time and money for engineers and technicians whose work involves testing single- and three-phase power transformers, Megger has launched its new MWA300 range of transformer winding analysers.

Key differences between this and other multifunction testers are completely new internal hardware architecture, a novel algorithm to generate the loop test results, and a display that shows the degree of confidence that can be placed on the results.

The DCM305E is easy to use and has been designed to provide accurate results even in difficult conditions. It offers true RMS (TRMS) measurement, which means that readings are unaffected by distortion in the supply waveform, and has a built-in low-pass filter that greatly improves the stability of results on circuits where high levels of harmonics or electrical noise are present.

With class-leading noise rejection "twice that of most comparable instruments" and  enhanced software filtering with four user-selectable options, Megger's new S1 series 5 kV and 10 kV DC insulation resistance testers deliver dependable results in even the most severe electrical environments, including extra high-voltage substations. 

For those contractors who complete Electrical Installation Certificates and Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) reports, Megger’s new FormFiller software has just made life a lot easier. Not only can this versatile and intuitive software be downloaded free of charge from the company’s website, it is also entirely free to use, forever.

The new MPQ1000 handheld three-phase power quality analyser from Megger makes power quality analysis easier, more convenient and more effective than ever before. Highly intuitive in operation, the MPQ1000 delivers exceptional versatility and performance in a robust yet ergonomic package. In addition, the new instrument is IEC 61000-4-30 Class A compliant for all measurements and it has a CAT IV 600V safety rating. These features make it ideal for a wide variety of applications including substation monitoring, load studies and load balancing as well as for investigating switchgear and component failures.

Despite their versatility and ease of handling, at 32 kg in transport case, the TRAX220 is the lightest test set of its type and can even be transported by air as check-in luggage. The test sets in this range make no performance compromises and provide results that are just as accurate and dependable as those obtained from separate instruments.

Introducing Megger Transformer Life Management (TLM) Bulletins and how they can help you:

To aid in the building, growth, maintenance and organisation of a library (corporate or personal), Megger has developed a comprehensive series of Transformer Life Management (TLM) bulletins that broadly cover the fundamentals of managing the life of a transformer. The bulletins span topics from moisture in transformers to each of the many electrical tests available to assess the condition of a transformer or instrument transformer. Moisture in transformers, for example, is a huge subject so there is value in overview summary publications that introduce the topic. If you collect all publications you can find on a topic, Megger TLM bulletins would be suitable to place at the front of each collection to introduce and frame that subject.
