Digital Megger Insulation Testing in Renewable Energy Systems


A Megger meter is an instrument that is used to measure high electrical and insulation resistance. It is also known as a megohmmeter. The generally known ohmmeter helps measure low resistance values, whereas a megohmmeter (by passing high voltage into it) measures quite an increased range of several megaohms. 

What is the use of a digital Megger Insulation Tester? 

It is used in measuring an electrical wire's insulation resistance. It is used in evaluating electrical components and systems. Megger is also used to install winding. These are widely used to test relays, ground connections, batteries, and other tests.

How to Use a Megger Insulation Tester? 

        Switch off power to the circuits you are about to test.

        Make a table to write the insulation values derived from the tests. 

        As the test voltage on your Megger, select 500 volts DC or 1000 volts DC, depending on the model you are about to use.

Some advantages of a megger insulation meter are:

        Its operation is effortless

        It uses a tiny DC Generator, Permanent Magnet type

        It doesn't need an external source of power like a battery or some wire to plug in 

        The cost of a megger is also very cheap.

        A megger tester can identify physical damages, which may avoid electrical shock due to leakages.

Some of the disadvantages of Megger are like:

        The time needed for measurement is high

        The accuracy of this device is not very high
