Page 5: Safety Warnings
„ The circuit under test must be switched off, de-energized and isolated before insulation or continuity tests are made. „ The MJ159 is protected for measurement connection to circuits up to CAT II 300 V Line – Ground, and 500 V Line – Line. -
Page 6: Description
Nominal test voltages are 100 V, 250 V, 500 V and 1000 V selectable. The MJ159 has a Mains (line) voltage measuring range of 0 to 600 V. Although calibrated for AC voltage, this feature will give decaying voltage indication following the testing of equipment possessing capacitance. -

4. The resistance will be indicated on the ‘Ω’ scale. Note:- If necessary repeat the continuity test with the leads reversed. The effects of any stray e.m.fs. in the sample under test may then be negated by taking the average of the two readings. www.megger.com MJ159... -

It is this current that is affected by moisture, dirt etc. and the degree to which it flows bears a direct relation to the quality of the insulation, and consequently to the value of the insulation resistance measured. An increase in the leakage current is a pointer to possible future problems. MJ159 www.megger.com... -
