General operation voltage range or mode is changed or by pressing the right
arrow/breakdown button.
The MIT515, MIT525, MIT1025, MIT1525 Insulation resistance
testers (IRTs) are primarily controlled by two rotary switches
and a TEST button used to start and stop a test (see section
entitled, ‘Instrument Control and Indicators’). The central rotary
switch includes an ‘OFF’ position; the instrument switches on
by rotating the switch either clockwise or anticlockwise from
this position. A range of test voltages for insulation resistance
tests up to 5 kV for MIT515/MIT525,10 kV for MIT1025 and 15
kV for MIT1525 are available, including a user selectable
voltage range which can be set between 40V or 100 V and
5000 V, 10000 V or 15000 V depending on model. The
‘lockable’ test voltage range can be adjusted in the settings Instrument controls are simple to operate. The central rotary

Breakdown vs. burn mode
In breakdown mode insulation tests are automatically stopped
when a fault causes the applied voltage to drop rapidly. Burn
mode IR tests ignore breakdown and continue to test the
insulation and are therefore destructive tests. Burn mode is
used to purposely create a carbon track in insulation to
facilitate fault location. Burn mode only operates at test
voltages of 500 V and above.

Voltmeter
A voltmeter is incorporated in the
instrument and measures AC/DC
voltage from 30 V to 660 V. Frequency
(Hz) is measured and displayed for AC
voltages. Voltmeter mode is activated by
switching to ‘V’ mode as illustrated. Remove AC source, press OK, backlight buttons and switch
main rotary switch from OFF to setting icon.
Positive and negative terminals are used for the voltmeter
function; do not connect the GUARD terminal when in
voltmeter (V) mode.

To assist user safety, the instrument will automatically switch

to voltmeter mode if a voltage of 50 V or more is connected to
the terminals. The measured voltage will be displayed
accompanied by an intermittent beeper to warn the user that a
dangerous voltage exists.

Real-time output during insulation tests

PowerDB or PowerDB Lite can be used to record real time
data output from the MIT525, MIT1025 and MIT1525 models.
Voltage, current and resistance data is sent at a rate 1 Hz from
the IRT and displayed in real time on a graph, e.g. a plot of
current (µA) versus voltage (kV) for the ramp test.

Before running a test where a real time output is required,

attach a PC running PowerDB Pro, PowerDB Advanced or
PowerDB Lite via a USB cable. Check the product CD
provided with the instrument for a folder named, “Megger
USB.” If this folder exists, use it when starting PowerDB for the
first time to find the driver, if not allow the operating system to
search the internet for the driver. Check the serial port
allocation on Device Manager, and enter the serial port
number allocated when starting PowerDB. PowerDB offers
instructions specific to MIT525, MIT1025 and MIT1525

Ramp voltage test

The ramp voltage test is an overvoltage test similar to the SV
test but with improved control and warning of potential
insulation failure. The slow continuous voltage ramp is less
likely to result in unpredictable damage to the insulation than
the rapid step increases employed in SV test.

If a PI test was performed to verify the winding’s suitability for

over voltage testing, the winding must be completely
discharged before the over voltage test is performed.

The typical voltage ramp

(dV/dt) is 1 kV/min
which is the default for
MIT525, MIT1025 and
MIT1525. This value is
user adjustable from the
settings function with the
mode rotary switch set to ramp. Up and down buttons are
used to adjust dV/dt to the required rate and OK confirms the
setting. Press and hold TEST to start.

The test will ramp the voltage until it reaches the selected test
voltage unless a breakdown or sudden rise in current is
detected. The result displayed after the test is the final
insulation resistance, voltage and current. If the result is saved
a complete curve of current (µA) and voltage (kV) is recorded
and can be read into PowerDB, PowerDB Lite or converted to
a spreadsheet so that the current vs. voltage curves can be
compared to published curves in IEEE 95-2002.

Measurement Techniques
Understanding Measurement Currents
Insulation resistance is defined as the dc test voltage divided In the case of dry insulation, conductance current may be
by the total current flowing in an insulator. The total current negligible and the leakage current may be low, in which case

precautions, assuming that the test leads are reasonably clean
and dry. The guard lead can be used to remove the effects of
surface leakage if necessary. When measuring resistances
above 100 GΩ, the test leads should not be allowed to touch
each other, or any other object since this will introduce
leakage paths. Sharp points at the test lead connections
should also be avoided since this will encourage corona
discharge.

The output is isolated, and so will float relative to ground such

current, and worsening of measurement accuracy.
Leakages therefore occur between the positive terminal and
ground, between the negative terminal and ground, and When making measurements above 100 GΩ therefore, the
directly between the positive and negative terminals. These user should ground the Guard lead where possible, otherwise
leakages have a significant effect and can occur through air. parallel leakage paths may occur.

Alternatively, screened leads are available as an optional

accessory from Megger. When using a screened lead the
screen is plugged into the Guard terminal, diverting any
leakage currents. This considerably improves measurements
made with a floating output, where the leads might touch each
other or another object other than the test piece.

If the guard lead is grounded, and since the negative terminal

is at the same voltage as the guard terminal, the leakage into
the negative terminal will be considerably reduced. This will
improve accuracy because the current flowing into the
negative terminal is measured by the instrument and used to

The GUARD terminal, as explained below, is only used in

cases where surface leakage currents need to be eliminated.
Most measurements use just the + and – terminals. The
instrument’s internal voltage generator drives the + terminal
with respect to the – terminal, current being measured in the –
terminal.

GUARD terminal, screened leads

For basic insulation tests and where there is little possibility of
surface leakage affecting the measurement it is unnecessary
to use the guard terminal, i.e. if the insulator is clean and there
are unlikely to be any adverse current paths. This diagram illustrates GUARD terminal used to prevent
surface leakage on cable insulation from affecting a high

lead to the guard terminal ‘G’.

The guard terminal is at the same potential as the negative

terminal. Since the leakage resistance is effectively in parallel
with the resistance to be measured, the use of the guard
causes the current flowing through surface leakage to be
diverted from the measuring circuit. The instrument therefore
reads the leakage of the insulator, ignoring leakage across its
surface.
