Megger S1-568 5kV High Performance Diagnostic Insulation Tester
Megger S1-586 is a 5 kV utility insulation resistance tester with exceptionally high noise rejection, the fast charging S1-568 offers the full gamut of automatic insulation tests with 8 mA of noise rejection, IR, timed IR, polarisation index (PI), dielectric absorption ratio (DAR), programmable Step Voltage (SS), Dielectric Discharge (DD) and ramp. The S1-568 allows the operator to control the test remotely from a computer using the 10 kV isolated USB port, to store the date and time stamped results on board or to download them in real time using Bluetooth. This is the perfect tester for the itinerant contractor as it will give results in any electrical environment.
- Proven ability to make accurate stable measurements in noisy environments such as 765 kV substations
- Rapid charge of capacitive loads such as HV power cables
- Additional safety in high energy locations with remote operation
- Always ready to test with fast charge Li-ion battery or a.c. source operation
- Designed to survive harsh environments
These top end insulation testers are targeted at power utilities and service companies working in generation, transmission and distribution markets. They feature class leading charge current, noise rejection and software filters.
The insulation resistance test is a quantitative test which indicates the effectiveness of a product’s electrical insulation; applications include:
- Cables
- Transformers
- Motors/Generators
- Circuit breakers
- Bushings
Common insulation tests are the ‘spot test‘, a 1 minute IR test and a 10 minute Polarisation Index (PI) test, where PI is the ratio R10min / R1min and is temperature independent.
The Megger S1-568 boasts five preset voltage ranges are provided in insulation test mode, plus a user settable lock voltage range. Pre-configured diagnostic tests include Polarisation Index (PI), Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR), Dielectric Discharge (DD), Stepped Voltage (SV) and Ramp test.
