MIT1525 15 kV DC Diagnostic Insulation Resistance Tester

The Megger MIT1525 15 kV DC Diagnostic Insulation Resistance Tester for the testing and maintenance of high voltage electrical equipment. Enclosed in a tough case, it is both smaller and lighter than its predecessors, making it even easier to carry and store.

Safety rating is not compromised on the MIT1525 range with all terminals safety rated to CATIV 1000 V to 3000 m. A range of 5 kV and 10 kV test leads are available, plus dedicated 15 kV test leads which are double insulated with clips designed for 15 kV creepage paths. The 15 kV leads are supplied in a holdall.

The MIT1525 range has a dual case design which includes a tough outer shell to protect the tester from knocks and drops, and an inner fire retardant case. It has an IP 65 rating when the case is closed, eliminating moisture and dust ingress.

An intuitive user interface helps to ensure that no time is lost trying to remembering how to use the MIT1525. Simplicity of operation is achieved with two rotary switches, and the large backlight display enables multiple results to be displayed simultaneously. A graphical quick start guide is provided inside the lid to assist any first-time users.

Five preset voltage ranges are provided in insulation test mode, as well as a user settable lock voltage range. Preconfigured diagnostic tests include Polarisation Index (PI), Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR), Dielectric Discharge (DD), Stepped Voltage (SV) and Ramp Test. Advanced memory storage includes time/date stamping of results, logging of data, and recalling results on-screen. A fully isolated USB interface is used for safe transfer of data to the asset management software.

Advanced memory storage includes time/date stamping of results, logging of data and recall of results to screen. A fully isolated USB device interface (type B) is used for safe transfer of data to Megger's PowerDB/Pro, Advanced and Lite asset management software.

The Insulation Resistance (IR) test is a quantitative test indicating the effectiveness of a product's electrical insulation. Applications include cables, transformers, motors/generators, circuit breakers and bushings. Common insulation tests are the "spot test", a 1 minute IR test, and a 10 minute Polarisation Index (PI) test.

Note: Wearing suitably rated HV gloves and other personal protection equipment is required while testing.

15 kV DC Medium Test Leads

Medium Instulated Test Clip 15 kV Leadset

These clips are designed for clamping on medium diameter test pieces, where space is also at a premium. The insulation is designed only to protect the user from the output of Megger 15 kV insulation resistance testers.

Note: These clips cannot, under any circumstance, be relied upon to protect the user from live AC systems above 1000 VAC/RMS in a CATIV environment.
