Understanding the Role of the MIT515‑2 in Insulation Testing

Insulation degradation is one of the most common causes of electrical equipment failure. Maintenance engineers rely on insulation resistance testing to detect moisture contamination, ageing insulation materials and electrical stress damage before faults occur.

The Megger MIT515‑2 provides a high‑voltage insulation testing platform capable of generating up to 5 kV DC while measuring extremely high resistance values. This makes the instrument suitable for preventive maintenance programs in utilities, industrial plants and electrical service operations.

Maximum Test Voltage

5 kV

Resistance Measurement

Up to 15 TΩ

Noise Rejection

3 mA

Safety Category

CAT IV 600 V

Key Testing Capabilities

Modern insulation testers must offer more than a single resistance measurement. The MIT515‑2 integrates several diagnostic functions that allow engineers to evaluate insulation behavior during different stages of testing.

Polarization Index (PI)

Used for long duration insulation analysis to identify contamination or ageing effects.

Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR)

Provides a quick diagnostic check of insulation health.

PI Predictor (PIp)

Helps estimate the final polarization index earlier in the test cycle.

Flexible Voltage Selection

Different types of equipment require different test voltages. The MIT515‑2 provides a range of preset voltages as well as a customizable option, allowing technicians to adjust the output voltage for specialized applications.

  • Preset voltages: 250 V, 500 V, 1000 V, 2500 V, 5000 V
  • User‑defined voltage: 40 V to 1 kV in 10 V increments
  • High resistance measurement capability up to 15 teraohms
  • Capacitance measurement from 10 nF to 25 μF
