What is megohmmeter?

A megohmmeter, also known as a megger, is an instrument used to measure high resistance values, typically insulation resistance. It applies a high DC voltage (ranging from a few volts to several kilovolts) and measures the resulting current to calculate the resistance. It is commonly used to test the insulation of electrical cables, motors, transformers, and other electrical equipment to ensure safety and prevent electrical leakage or short circuits.

What other technologies are related to megohmmeter?

megohmmeter Competitor Technologies

A multimeter can measure resistance, voltage, and current. While a megohmmeter is specialized for high resistance insulation testing, a multimeter can perform basic resistance measurements, making it a competitor, especially for lower resistance ranges.
