After an insulation test, the instrument must be left connected until the circuit has been discharged to a safe voltage. The instrument must not be used if any part of it is damaged or if the terminal shutter is missing. www.megger.com...
All test leads, probes and crocodile clips must be in good order, clean and with no broken or cracked insulation. Verify the integrity of the test leads before use. Only “Megger” approved test leads must be used with this product.
NOTE: The warning will not operate if the instrument is set to Off. Internal Error Warning Internal Error Warning switch off and back on. Contact Megger if not cleared. Read the User Guide Refer to the user guide if this message shows.
In addition the MTR105 also incorporates temperature measurement and compensation (for IR tests), direction of rotation plus supply phase rotation tests. All these new test abilities go together to make the MTR105 a real world, versatile, hand held test instrument for rotating machinery.
Introduction Applications The MTR105 is an OFF LINE motor tester that can be used on small to medium sized rotating machines, typically up to 500 hp. Typical applications include but are not limited to: New manufactured motor – test in production process.
