It is the ideal tool for professionals who require straightforward, ‘go/no-go’ testing without the need for data storage, focusing on efficiency and operational safety.

    With a maximum test voltage of 5kV and a resistance measurement capability up to 15 TΩ, the MIT515/2-AU is perfectly suited for a wide range of applications. This includes testing cables, transformers, motors, generators, and circuit breakers. Its design ensures exceptional performance for both quality inspection during manufacturing and routine maintenance checks. The instrument provides a high level of accuracy, with a specification of ±5% up to 1 TΩ at 5kV, ensuring you can trust the results for critical decision-making.

    Engineered with user safety as a priority, the MIT515/2-AU features a CAT IV 600 V rating up to 3000m, providing a superior level of protection. The unique dual-case design incorporates a tough outer shell for impact protection and a fire-retardant inner case. This robust construction makes it a dependable choice for industrial insulation testing. The tester can be operated via its rapid-charge Li-ion battery, offering up to 6 hours of continuous use, or from an AC mains supply for uninterrupted testing. This flexibility ensures the MIT515/2-AU is always ready for reliable insulation resistance measurement when you need it.

    Key Features

    • 5kV Test Voltage: Provides variable test voltages of 250V, 500V, 1000V, 2500V, and 5000V for versatile application across various electrical assets.
    • High Resistance Range: Measures insulation resistance up to 15 TΩ, delivering precise and reliable results for comprehensive diagnostic testing.
    • RE>Act™ Mode: This advanced feature measures re-absorption current to enhance the accuracy and reliability of your IR measurements, preventing false passes.
    • PI Predictor™ Function: Saves valuable time by predicting the Polarisation Index (PI) as early as 3 minutes into a test, improving productivity.
    • Superior Safety Rating: CAT IV 600V safety rating (up to 3000m) and a dual-case design provide exceptional user protection in hazardous environments.
    • Flexible Power Options: Operates on a rapid-charge Li-ion battery with a 6-hour typical life or directly from an AC mains supply for continuous operation.
    • Rugged, Portable Design: Features an IP65-rated case (lid closed) to protect against dust and moisture, making it ideal for tough field conditions.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    1. What are the primary applications for the Megger MIT515/2-AU?
    The MIT515/2-AU is designed for insulation resistance testing on a variety of high-voltage electrical assets. It is ideal for technicians and engineers working on cables, power transformers, motors, generators, and switchgear in sectors such as utilities, industrial manufacturing, and renewable energy.

    2. How does the RE>Act™ mode improve testing?
    The RE>Act™ mode enhances measurement reliability by detecting and measuring residual re-absorption current in the insulation before a test begins. This prevents falsely high or low IR readings, ensuring that equipment which should fail is not incorrectly passed, thereby improving the integrity of your maintenance programme.

    3. What safety features are built into the MIT515/2-AU?
    The instrument is safety rated to CAT IV 600V up to 3000m. It includes a dual-case design for physical and fire protection, multiple live voltage warnings to prevent testing on energised circuits, and supplied test leads that comply with IEC 61010-031 standards for user safety.

    4. How long does the battery last and can it be used while charging?
    The Li-ion battery provides approximately 6 hours of continuous testing at 5kV with a 100 MΩ load. A 30-minute quick charge can provide about one hour of operation. For extended use, the tester can be operated directly from an AC mains supply, even if the battery is completely flat.

    5. What is included with the purchase of an MIT515/2-AU?
    The standard package includes the MIT515/2-AU tester, a power lead for charging and mains operation, a calibration certificate, and one 3m lead set with medium-sized insulated clips designed for 5kV applications.
