Latest news from Megger

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.

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.
