Megger Insights

What is Megger?

A Megger is a brand of electrical testing equipment primarily known for insulation resistance testers. These testers, often called 'megohmmeters' or 'insulation testers', are used to measure the resistance of insulation in electrical cables, windings, and equipment. By applying a high DC voltage and measuring the resulting current, a Megger can determine the condition of the insulation, identifying potential faults or weaknesses that could lead to electrical breakdown.
