Latest news from Megger

Portable test equipment expert Megger has added a CAT IV 600 V time domain reflectometer (TDR) to its popular and successful TDR2000 range. The instrument has been designed specifically to meet the needs of DNOs to speed up the location of faults on live or dead LV networks.

Following the acquisition of Relay Engineering Services Ltd by Megger Group, the following product lines will be replaced with the Megger alternative.

For transformer manufacturers, test laboratories, power utilities and others with a need to measure capacitance and dissipation factor at high voltages, Megger's new CDAX 605 test set provides a convenient, cost-effective and versatile solution. Faster and easier to use than even self-balancing capacitance bridges, more versatile and at least as accurate, the innovative CDAX 605 combines an exceptionally wide measuring range with fully automatic operation.

Compact and lightweight as well as fast and easy to use, phase angle meters in the new PAM400 range from Megger offer a convenient and cost-effective solution for a wide range of applications, including checking polyphase metering installations, testing protective relays, making comparative tests in electrical substations, and verifying phase angle deviation on power transformers.

Offering compatibility with virtually all types of paired metallic cables, comprehensive dual-channel operation, auto set up for instant use and excellent near-end fault location performance, as well as internal storage for up to 100 traces, the new TDR2000/3 time domain reflectometer from Megger is the ideal choice for rapidly, reliably and conveniently locating cable faults in telecommunications and street lighting systems.

Simple and fast to use, reliable and tough, compact handheld PAT testers in the groundbreaking new PAT100 series from Megger are the ideal choice for carrying low to medium volume testing in offices, shops, business units and similar environments. Their very short learning curve and their tough construction – they feature hardened, scratchproof glass to protect the display and rubber armouring for the cases – means they’re also well suited for use by training organisations.

While capable of delivering 900 A continuously and 5,000 A for short periods, the new Ingvar primary current injection test set from Megger is readily portable, making it ideal for on-site use, even in applications such as underground substations where access would be difficult or impossible for larger test sets. The design has also been optimised to minimise in-rush current, thereby making Ingvar suitable for use on supply systems with limited capacity

Capable of providing accurate measurements up to 10 TΩ for 5 kV versions and 20 TΩ for 10 kV versions and having facilities for IR, IR(t), PI, DAR, DD, SV and ramp tests, Megger's new high-voltage insulation resistance testers (IRTs) offer exceptional versatility in a compact, rugged and light unit that weighs little more than half as much as its predecessors.

With the launch of the new TM1700 range of circuit breaker analysers from Megger, users with regular circuit breaker testing requirements no longer have to choose between low-end instruments designed only for simple applications and versatile but costly high-end instruments.

Developed specifically to make installation testing safer, faster and more convenient, Megger's new and innovative MFT1700 series instruments set new standards for multifunction test sets.
