Insulation and continuity tester
June 2014
Electrical Power & Protection
The Megger MIT310 insulation and continuity tester is a robust and powerful continuity tester that can carry out insulation testing at 250, 500 and 1000 V with a test range of 1000 megaohms. It also provides continuity testing at 100 megaohms and voltage measurements at 600 V with both alternating and direct current.
Megger has designed this insulation tester with regard to safety regulations. When working with this device, users are protected by the innovative safety interlock system that reduces the occurrence of incorrect or dangerous test lead connections.
The MIT310 stops the user from conducting tests when the circuit voltage is higher than 50 V and therefore dangerous. It also prevents continuity testing from being carried out on circuits that are live through the safety lockout functionality.
This insulation tester has been manufactured to last, thanks to its rugged rubber casing. The screen is also protected through the use of the solid lid that is double-hinged. Users can easily fold away the screen protector whenever the device is used. It is also compliant with IP54 standards of waterproofing so it works effectively in even the most demanding of weather conditions.
