Essential 5 kV and 10 kV insulation resistance testers
MIT515/2, MIT1015
MIT515/2, MIT1015
Key Benefits
- Stable, accurate results
- PI Predictor™ cuts test time in half
- Accurate testing with RE>Act™
- Designed for real-world use
Description
The range includes two models: the MIT515 (up to 5 kV) and MIT1015 (up to 10 kV), both supporting insulation resistance, dielectric absorption ratio (DAR), and polarisation index (PI) testing. Megger’s PI Predictor™ reduces PI test duration by up to 50%, boosting productivity when testing multiple phases.
The new innovative patent applied RE>Act test mode allows the user to make accurate measurements by monitoring reabsorption current. This groundbreaking test mode can ensure reabsorption current does not result in incorrectly passing or failing insulation, helping to maintain safety. In addition, the test mode can be used to ensure dangerous return voltages to not occur.
These instruments have no onboard storage and a fixed 3 mA burn/charge current—perfect for environments where advanced features like remote control aren’t required. The high-performance guard terminal ensures measurement accuracy even in high-leakage conditions.
Simple to use, CAT IV 600 V rated, and built for demanding industrial, OEM, and utility applications, the Essential range delivers fast, dependable results—without complexity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which insulation tester is right for me?
Megger offers three ranges: Essential, Advanced, and Expert. If you perform routine maintenance or go/no-go testing and don’t need internal data storage, an Essential instrument offers dependable performance and great value. If you need additional test modes or internal storage, choose an Advanced model. For noisy environments, high burn current, or remote testing, an Expert model is best. Once you’ve chosen a range, simply pick the test voltage you need — 5 kV or 10 kV.
Can I export results from the Essential range?
No. Essential instruments do not include internal memory or data export. If you require automatic storage, USB/Bluetooth transfer, or software integration, consider the Advanced or Expert ranges.
What insulation tests can I perform with Essential models?
All Essential testers include the most commonly used test modes: Insulation Resistance (IR) Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR) Polarisation Index (PI) They’re designed for simple, effective testing without unnecessary complexity.
What are the main differences between the MIT515 and MIT1015?
Both instruments offer the same features and test modes. The only difference is the maximum output voltage: MIT515 goes up to 5 kV MIT1015 goes up to 10 kV
