MEGGER 210600 Datasheet & Stock

Megger's 210600 Extended Range Insulation Resistance Tester

The 210600 Megger® Extended Range Insulation
Resistance Tester is the ideal instrument when high
ranges are needed for measuring insulation resistance.
It provides excellent test voltage regulation and an
external guard terminal to eliminate surface leakage
current from the measurement. The instrument is all
electronic; it generates a regulated dc high voltage and
uses low-zero-drift, high-accuracy circuits, with high current
sensitivity. Designed for portability, it is enclosed in a
molded, impact-resistance, flame-retardant case.


The 210600 is protected for connection to power
distribution systems up to 300 V Line-Ground and 500 V
Line-Line for Installation Category III. This relates to
transient overvoltage likely to be found in fixed installation
wiring.


This digital, autoranging model provides insulation
resistance readings up to 1999 MΩ. It has a 0- to 600-volt
ac measuring range. Test voltages of 100, 250, 500 and
1000 volts dc are selected by a rotary switch, and
insulation resistance to 1999 MΩ autoranging can be made
on the 500 and 1000 V ranges. It incorporates a 3-1/2 digit
LCD calibrated directly in megohms, ohms and ac/dc volts.



Applications

Major Megger testers measure the insulation resistance of
wires, power cables, motors, generators, transformers,
switchboards and electrical controls. Both models offer
multiple test voltages for performing spot and step-voltage
tests. Typical applications include:



Acceptance testing at time of installation to check conformance to specifications.
Routine preventive maintenance testing after installation.
Quality assurance testing by the manufacturer.
Diagnostic testing to isolate faulty components for repair.


Major Megger insulation testers can be used for detecting
high- or low-resistance grounds, short circuits in apparatus,
cables, wiring, etc. whether caused by moisture, oil, dirt,
corrosion, damage to insulation or natural deterioration.
They can also be used to determine the presence of
moisture, solvents and semiconducting foreign materials in
wires, cables and other conductors, and in built-up
insulation systems such as those found in motor windings.


Typically, these testers are used to take a series of
measurements over a period of time which will show the
gradual decline that takes place in the insulation during its
operational life. Such monitoring enables the user or to
anticipate future performance and to plan ahead for
repairs. They are also used to show improvements in the
insulation of motor, transformer and generator windings
that result from drying-out procedures used after exposure
to excessive humidity or water.
