Megger MIT481/2 Insulation and Continuity Tester with result storage, 50/100/250/500 V

Model: MIT481/2 | Order No: 1004-741

Designed for electrical testing by power utilities, industrials, telecommunication companies, and more, this insulation and continuity tester offers a wide range of features. With a convenient back-stand, this tester features three-terminal measurements, which allows the connection of all three test leads for A, B, and E.


Megger MIT481 Insulation Resistance and Continuity Tester with Result Storage

The Megger MIT400 Series insulation and continuity testers has been designed for electrical testing by power utilities, industrials, telecommunication companies, commercial/domestic electricians and anyone with unique test voltage requirements. The wide range of features also makes the MIT400 Series ideal for maintenance technicians and engineers.

They replace the well-established BM400 insulation tester range, giving greater functionality with simplified operation, greater application range and increased safety.


Insulation Voltage Range

MIT481 - 50 V, 100 V, 250 V, 500 V, 1000 V plus PI, DAR and result storage.


Applications

Telecommunication Testing

Designed to cope with the additional requirements of the telecommunications industry, MIT Models 480, 481 and 485 include 50 V and 100 V range insulation testing as standard, plus higher voltages as required.

In addition, the voltage detection test inhibit feature has been raised to 75 V (from 50 V), to allow testing of cables with coactivity coupled induced voltages, which would normally inhibit such testing with a 50 V protected instrument.

Finally the MIT481 and MIT485 models include measurement of cable distance by capacitance, providing a convenient cable length without the need to use TDR technology, with adjustable cable capacitance from 40 nF/Km to 60 nF/Km (default is 50 nF/Km).


What's Included

  • Set of silicone test leads - Flexible and long lasting, these leads prevent errors from test lead leakage on high resistance type of insulation testing. They also provide increased accuracy above 10 GΩ.
  • Rugged instrument rubber boot with built-in stand- Protects the instrument from dings and drops and provides an easier, better grip of the instrument.
  • High-impact polypropylene carry case - Further protects the instrument and provides space for the leads, switch probe, etc.
  • Owner information CD.
  • Three year product warranty.
  • Free calibration certificate
  • Plug-in switch probe - Allows the user to remotely perform insulation tests, reducing the time taken to perform a test.
  • 75 V live circuit inhibit

Instrument Safety

The MIT400 Series instruments are designed to meet all of the requirements of IEC1010-2 and EN61557 and meets the safety requirements for use on CAT IV 600 V.

  • Any live circuit detection inhibits any insulation testing on circuits above 50 V (75 volts on Telecom models)
  • Any live circuit detection and test inhibit on continuity measurements
  • Default display of live circuit voltage on all ranges
  • Detection and inhibit features function even if the protections fuse has failed

Also, fast detection circuitry prevents damage to the instruments if accidentally connected to live circuits or across phases.

Key Features

  • CAT IV 600 V rating - provides greater safety when testing at higher voltage levels
  • Adjustable insulation test voltages - provides 250 V to 1000 V or 50 V to 1000 V.
  • Dual digital display readout - allows display of complimentary test information simultaneously (for example: MΩ plus test voltage or MΩ plus leakage current)
  • Digital and analog arc display - includes not only the digital readout but also Megger's patented analog arc to replicate the response of a moving coil display
  • Exceptional measurement range from 20 GΩ to 200 GΩ - highest insulation test range available on the market, providing a superior range of measurement applications.
  • Choice of 20 mA or 200 mA continuity testing - allows user to select lower continuity range thus increasing battery life considerably
  • Continuity auto-test capability - enables real two-handed operation without the need to press the test button
  • Adjustable continuity limit alarm - allows pass/fail limits to be sent to speed testing
  • Automatically perform PI and DAR tests - user is able to quickly perform two important diagnostic tests. . . Polarization Index (PI) and Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR)
  • True RMS voltage measurement - allows accurate voltage measurement on noisy lines
  • Auto ranging voltage measurement - automatically adjusts range from millivolts to 600 V AC or DC, eliminating the need to keep changing ranging
  • Live circuit warning - automatically warns of contact to a live circuit, voltage is displayed and testing is inhibited
  • Auto fuse warning - warns of fuse failure automatically. No need to test the fuse manually.
  • Buzzer select button - enable or disable buzzer as required with resistance also displayed on the screen.
  • Stylish tapered design and center button placement - easy to use with either hand
  • Test result storage
  • Measurement of capacitance and distance by capacitance
