General Electrical Test

Power Quality Measurement

With the increased sophistication of electrical and electronic equipment, and new micro generation systems being added to the grid, there is now more than ever attention being paid to the quality of supply. Power quality surveys on electrical noise, lamp flicker, load balancing, power factor correction and motor in-rush studies can all be carried out with Megger power quality analysers.

Impedance meter NIM1000

he impedance meter NIM1000 measures the loop impedance to detect malfunctions in the LV grid at an early stage. The NIM1000 triggers load-sensitive and neutral faults, detects weak contacts, and exposes hidden flaws. Depending on the grounding conditions of the tested grid, a multi-phase measurement calculates the impedance of the neutral conductor to detect defects that can cause severe safety issues. NIM1000 is a versatile device. It measures the current capacity under real-life conditions, determines the voltage dip resulting from a given load, and performs tests on cables, power supply lines, and busbars. Those tests help determine the correct dimensioning of the installations, ensure a consistently good power quality, and prevent downtimes.

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 and 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.
