    The Megger S1-1568/2-AU is an expert-grade 15 kV insulation resistance tester, engineered for superior performance and reliability in the most challenging high-voltage electrical environments. It is the premier diagnostic tool for senior engineers, utility technicians, and maintenance professionals who require uncompromising precision for testing transmission-level assets, including transformers, bushings, and long cables. This instrument delivers the power and accuracy needed to ensure the integrity of critical infrastructure and support predictive maintenance programmes.

    A key advantage of the S1-1568/2-AU is its industry-leading noise immunity, which effectively rejects up to 8 mA of interference. This ensures stable and dependable measurements in extreme EHV environments up to 765 kV, where electrical noise can render other testers ineffective. The addition of the patented RE>Act™ test mode further enhances measurement reliability by quantifying re-absorption currents, which prevents incorrect pass/fail decisions on insulation. This feature also improves operator safety by monitoring the discharge process after a test.

    Combining a full suite of diagnostic tests (IR, PI, DAR, DD, PDC, SV), the S1-1568/2-AU provides a complete assessment of insulation condition. Its CAT IV 1000 V safety rating and rugged, dual-case design provide maximum protection for the user and the instrument. Workflow is streamlined through on-board, time-stamped memory and remote operation via USB. Data can be transferred to the free CertSuite Asset Lite software, simplifying reporting and asset management. Powered by a rapid-charge Li-ion battery or directly from an AC supply, the S1-1568/2-AU provides the operational flexibility and performance required for critical high-voltage testing.

    Key Features

    • Superior Noise Immunity: Rejects up to 8 mA of noise current, delivering stable measurements in extreme EHV environments.
    • RE>Act™ Test Mode: Increases measurement accuracy by detecting re-absorption currents and enhances safety by monitoring asset discharge.
    • 15 kV Test Voltage: Provides a maximum test voltage of 15 kV for testing high-voltage transmission and distribution assets.
    • CAT IV 1000 V Safety Rating: Ensures the highest level of operator safety for work in high-energy industrial and utility applications.
    • Comprehensive Diagnostic Suite: Includes IR, PI, DAR, DD, SV, PDC, and Ramp test modes for in-depth insulation analysis.
    • Efficient Data Management: Features remote control via USB and seamless data transfer to CertSuite Asset Lite for simplified logging and reporting.
    • Dual Power Flexibility: Operates on a rapid-charge Li-ion battery for field use or from an AC mains supply for continuous operation.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    1. What are the main applications for a 15 kV insulation tester like the S1-1568/2-AU?
    The S1-1568/2-AU is designed for testing high-voltage assets found in power transmission and distribution systems, heavy industrial plants, and large motor/generator applications. This includes power transformers, bushings, circuit breakers, and long high-voltage cables where a 15 kV test voltage is required.

    2. How does the S1-1568/2-AU guarantee accurate readings in a noisy substation?
    It features best-in-class noise immunity that filters out up to 8 mA of electrical interference. This capability ensures that the instrument provides stable, accurate, and repeatable insulation resistance measurements, even when used in close proximity to energised high-voltage equipment.

    3. What is the benefit of the remote control function?
    The remote control capability via USB allows an operator to control the instrument from a safe distance. This is particularly valuable when testing in potentially hazardous areas, enhancing operator safety and providing greater flexibility during the testing process.

    4. Can this instrument operate without mains power?
    Yes, the S1-1568/2-AU is equipped with a rapid-charge Li-ion battery, providing hours of continuous testing in the field. It can also be powered directly from an AC mains supply for extended or workshop-based testing, ensuring it is always ready for use.

    5. What is the advantage of using CertSuite Asset Lite with the S1-1568/2-AU?
    CertSuite Asset Lite is a free software that streamlines your workflow by allowing direct transfer of time-stamped test results from the instrument to a PC or mobile device. This eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, and makes it easy to manage asset history and generate professional reports.
