WHAT DOES A MEGGER MEASURE

RE: MEGGER

Insulation resistance.

RE: MEGGER

"Megger"  is a brand name for an Insulation Resistance tester. It creates a voltage (usually 500V) and allows you to test for any Insulation breakdown.

RE: MEGGER

"Megger" originated from MegaOhm (that is what it measures) probably. It is brand name of measuring instruments company 'AVO' (currently part of Biddle, I think).

RE: MEGGER

The term "Megger" is a Registered trademark in 32 countries of various Insulation Testors Mr. Biddle & Company produce...
I know several of the Inspectors from Hartford that will accept "Only" the readings from a "Megger"..
(James Biddle & Compny)
