Megger BM5200 Contractor 5kv Insulation Tester

Description

The Megger BM5200 is a portable, battery-powered insulation resistance tester designed for high-voltage testing and maintenance of electrical equipment. Its rugged, compact build makes it suitable for industrial settings, and it offers both digital and analog displays for easy readings.

Key features

• Test voltages: The BM5200 can perform DC insulation tests at five selectable voltages: 250V, 500V, 1000V, 2500V, and 5000V.
  
• Measurement range: It can measure insulation resistance from 100 kΩ up to 1 TΩ (1000 GΩ).
  
• Diagnostic test modes:
       1. Insulation (InS): A quick, standard insulation test.
       2. Polarization Index (PI): This test calculates the ratio of the           
•      3. insulation resistance after ten minutes to the resistance after one minute. A higher PI value generally indicates better insulation condition.
• Variable Timed Test (t): Allows you to set a specific duration for the insulation test.
  
• Voltmeter functionality: The device also includes an AC and DC voltmeter function, capable of measuring voltages up to 600V.
  
• Guard terminal: A guard terminal is included to minimize the effect of surface leakage currents, ensuring more accurate insulation resistance measurements.
  
• Safety features: The BM5200 is rated CAT III 600V and includes a high-voltage warning indicator and automatic discharge of capacitive circuits after testing.
  
• Power: It is powered by eight AA alkaline batteries, with an approximate battery life of 5 hours when testing at 5 kV into a 100 MΩ load.
