The street scene shows damage caused by an explosion in a manhole as a result of gases generated by a low-voltage arcing fault. North America, according to statistics published by the IEEE Insulated ...

Insulation resistance testing is a simple yet critical preventive measure that can significantly lower your maintenance costs. You may be familiar with the role insulation resistance testing plays in ...

Most of the electrical power distribution infrastructure is static, and in many facilities, the mindset for electrical equipment and devices is “set it, and forget it.” However, much of the existing ...

The new dual-purpose instrument combines high-voltage insulation testing up to 20 GΩ with comprehensive electrical measurement capabilities for field electricians.

Norristown, PA. Megger announced it now offers a new insulation and continuity tester designed specifically for the telecommunications and cable testing markets. The MIT485/2TC-LG2 replaces Megger’s ...

Insulation problems are to blame for around 30% or more of motor failures – meaning that electrical motor testing should be a larger part of every condition monitoring regime. Mike Teska, Product Line ...

Hipot testers are used to measure the leakage current and insulation resistance between all components and connections, verify solid ground connections, and test ground bonds. These tests include the ...

The measurement engineer can view the values from tan δ and partial-discharge testing directly in the cable test van. Clear representation helps to detect severe defects or locate partial discharges ...

Complex grids depend on equipment such as transformers, protection relays, switchgear, and cables—each of which can develop faults not immediately visible during normal operation. As a result, ...
