Megger Industrial Maintenance

Insulation Testing

Insulation testers are Megger‘s best known products worldwide. In the 19th century, when the first cities became electrified in the course of the industrial revolution, Megger constructed the world’s first ‘hand dynamo’. This patented product generated enough voltage to measure resistances in the megohm range. Today, you can experience the exceptional accuracy, repeatability and reliability of Megger’s insulation testers. Indeed, thanks to Megger‘s advanced guard terminal technology, you can avoid leakage currents that can distort results, giving you accurate insulation measurements quickly and efficiently.

Partial discharge testing

PD Scan-Medium voltage switchgear substation surveying system

The PD Scan is a handheld, pre-screening tool suitable for on-line detection of PD activity in MV cables and plant. PD activity is widely regarded as an indication of incipient faults in the insulation and seen as one of the best ‘early warning’ indicators of the deterioration of medium and high voltage insulation. Faults in MV plant are, in most cases, cost expensive. A breakdown in, say, a termination, can lead to damage of the entire cubicle. In addition, faults in MV plant can lead to long outage times. With help from the PD Scan, such faults can be prevented.
The intuitive operating system and the large touchscreen colour display makes it one of the most user friendly hand-held online PD units on the market.

UHF PDD

Component failure in a substation has serious repercussions. It has the potential to cause injury, damage and unplanned outages, which result in significant disruption and cost. Predictive condition assessment aims to identify faults developing in electrical equipment so that they can be addressed before failure.
The UHF PD Detector is the ideal tool for quick, non-invasive surveys in MV and HV substations and should be part of the toolkit for all maintenance and service teams. Due to its high measurement bandwidth, the UHF method provides accurate local online partial discharge (PD) measurements on HV components such as cable end-terminations, surge arrestors, voltage transformers and isolators.

digiPHONE+ Surge wave receiver for acoustic and electromagnetic fault pinpointing

This instrument sets the standard by integrating audio and electro-magnetic functionality in to one simple-to-understand, colour display. Combining two new technologies for efficient noise suppression, it offers exceptional acoustic performance which lets pass only the fault noise. This means it is possible to lower the surge energy and to find faults in noisy environments. The operator’s hearing is protected by auto proximity mute, turning off the headset as a hand approaches the sensor handle and turning it on again once mechanical oscillations have ceased, and by limiting the earphone output to 84 dB(A).
Cable tracing is simplified using the left/right indicator, keeping the sensor over the cable while the compass indicates the direction to the fault and the digital readout displays the distance to the fault.

Battery Testing

With the increasing dependency of back-up systems on battery strings, and the escalating cost of replacing batteries, instrumentation and software systems that can measure, trend and manage the life-cycle of cells is a cost effective option. There are two methodologies for testing batteries. The first, impedance testing, is an on-line test that can be performed frequently to identify individual weak cells before they fail. The second, battery discharge test, is normally an off-line test and tests the actual output of the whole battery under load conditions. This will show what will actually happen if the battery is required to take the load. Most battery systems are floating and have earth leakage monitors and trips if there is an earth fault. The Battery Ground Fault Tracer allows you to trace a faulty circuit easily in a complex floating system.
