The Megger MIT515-US insulation resistance tester measures
insulation resistance, voltage, current, and capacitance in
high-voltage electrical systems. This multiranging digital meter
performs timed insulation resistance (IR), polarization index
(PI), and dielectric absorption ratio (DAR) tests. The unit
measures insulation resistance from 10 kilohms to 10 teraohms,
voltage from 30 to 660V alternating current (AC) or direct
current (DC), current from 0.01nA to 6mA, and capacitance from 10
nanofarads to 25 microfarads. The unit has test voltages in 10V
steps from 50V to 1,000V and in 25V steps from 1,000 to 5,000V.
It also has 250, 500, 1,000, 2,500, and 5,000V set test voltages.
The tester is safety rated to European Standard EN61010-1,
Category IV, 600V. It is Ingress Protection 65 (IP65)-rated to be
dust tight and protection against water sprayed from 6.3mm jets.
The MIT515-US is used by electricians, electrical contractors,
and telecommunications workers.

Electrical test meters report electrical circuit properties, such
as voltage, resistance, capacitance, and continuity. Available in
handheld or benchtop form, they detect electrical problems in
equipment, wiring, and power supplies. A variety of probes,
clamps, and leads can be used to connect the meter to a circuit
or device. Single-function meters, such as battery testers and
voltage testers, measure one property of a circuit, and
multimeters measure multiple properties. Electrical test meters
display information either in analog form using a needle that
moves on a calibrated scale, or in digital form using digits or a
graphic representation on an LED screen. Meters have electrical
properties that are to be measured and the anticipated range of
results, and should have a rating that is higher than the maximum
value of the anticipated range. An electrical test meter has
multiple settings corresponding to potential ranges of values for
the properties it can measure. A manual ranging meter requires
the operator to flip through different settings until the correct
range is reached. An autoranging meter cycles through range
settings automatically until it reaches the correct range.
Megger manufactures equipment for cable fault locating,
protective relay testing, telecommunications and data integrity,
and power quality testing under multiple brand names, among them
Megger, Biddle, States, and AVO. The company, founded in 1889, is
headquartered in Dover, England, and meets International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008 standards.
