The MIT515 is the simplest unit available in the Megger MIT line of insulation resistance testers. The unit is capable of testing insulation resistance up to 5 kV output voltage and 10 TΩ resistance. The MIT515 comes standard with a range of new features and design updates which make it easy to use daily in professional settings.
The Megger MIT515 comes equipped with lithium ion fast-recharge batteries. With these batteries, a full charge can be achieved from empty in 2.5 hours. The batteries will last 6 hours on a single charge. In the worst case, a 30 minute charge will provide about 1 hour of life if tests need to be completed. The MIT515 can also run using AC line power.
The MIT515 features a large, clear, easy to read display, suitable for use in both bright and poorly lit environments. That means important information including resistance, voltage, leakage current, capacitance, battery status, and time constant are always visible no matter where you must test. In addition, the elapsed time of the test is displayed constantly on-screen, eliminating the need for separate timer.
The MIT515 also features a tough dual case design. This means that the unit's protective casing is actually double layered, providing strong protection. The inner layer of the case is fire retardant for safety. This layer also contributes to the MIT515's IP65 rating, meaning the unit has been tested to withstand entry by dust, dirt, and water, even at higher pressures. The outer layer of the case has been designed to protect the MIT515 from hard drops or knocks to the unit's body.
