YOU ASK:
I WORK MOSTLY ON INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS, BUT INCREASINGLY THIS INVOLVES PV INSTALLATIONS AND ELECTRIC VEHICLE EQUIPMENT. I’M STRUGGLING TO COPE WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS USING MY PRESENT TEST KIT, SO I NEED TO UPDATE IT, BUT I DON’T WANT A BAG FULL OF INSTRUMENTS TO LUG AROUND. ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR A MORE CONVENIENT SOLUTION?
MEGGER SAYS:
Yours is a common problem and Megger has come up with a very handy solution: the new IMT100 multitester. In a single handheld instrument, this provides DC and true RMS AC voltage measurement, insulation resistance testing with surface leakage current detection, four-wire low resistance bonding tests, two-wire continuity and diode testing, phase rotation checking and frequency measurement. The insulation resistance functionality also supports DAR and PI testing, which is very handy for motors, and there are additional useful features like resistance, inductance and capacitance measurement. It even has internal storage for up to 256 test results. You’ll see that the IMT100 is incredibly versatile; you would previously have needed several instruments to cover this range of tests. The IMT100 also has a CAT III 600 V safety rating, so you can use it on any part of an LV installation and its rugged construction means that it will stand up to the knocks and drops of industrial use. We’re confident that you’ll find it’s just what you’re looking for.
