Latest news from Megger

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.

Weighing in at only 1 kg, the Megger MOM2 is 200 A micro-ohmmeter fully capable of testing circuit breaker contact resistance to IEC 62271-100.

In response to the growing need for earth electrode resistance measurements, Megger has added a new model to its popular and successful MFT1700 family of multifunction installation testers. When used in conjunction with the appropriate accessories, the new MFT1735 provides comprehensive facilities for two-pole, three-pole, stakeless and ART earth electrode resistance measurements, as well as all the functionality needed to test electrical installations in line with the 17th Edition of the IET Wiring Regulations.

Megger’s new TDS NT test set offers comprehensive facilities not only for standards-compliant testing of power cables, but also for diagnosing and accurately locating cable faults. 

Dependable test results in an exceptionally wide range of applications are guaranteed with handheld insulation testers in the new MIT400 Mk 2 range from Megger. The new instruments feature feedback-stabilised test voltages that not only ensure tests are always carried out to specification, but also that the risk of overvoltage damage to circuits and components is minimal.

Designed specifically to aid the installation of solar PV panels, Megger's new PVM210 solar irradiance meter features a compact design which, unlike most other irradiance meters, has the solar detector on the top of the instrument. This arrangement, combined with the useful measurement hold function, makes the PVM210 easy and convenient to use - even with just one hand - when working on a sloping roof or at the top of a ladder. 

With Megger's new handheld TDR1000/3 time domain reflectometer, locating near-end faults in voice and data communications networks is no longer a problem. By using launch pulses with durations as short as 2 ns, this innovative instrument can accurately determine the location of faults that are less than a metre from the point of connection.
