Megger EGIL Circuit breaker tester

Megger EGIL Circuit Breaker Tester

The MEGGER EGIL Circuit breaker tester is a specialized tool designed for efficient and effective testing of circuit breakers, specifically those with one contact per phase. This device stands out due to its blend of simplicity and advanced functionality, which it offers at a lower cost and with easier operation compared to more complex systems.

The EGIL is equipped with three synchronized channels on one side and two separate time channels for measuring auxiliary contacts, allowing for comprehensive monitoring and analysis during tests. This capability ensures that events at parallel contacts are accurately recorded and displayed simultaneously, providing clear and immediate insights into the performance and health of the circuit breaker.

For convenience and efficiency in field applications, the EGIL includes ready-made multi-cable sets that facilitate quick and easy connections to both main and auxiliary contacts. This design consideration significantly simplifies the setup process on-site, saving time and reducing the potential for connection errors.

One of the notable features of the EGIL is its automatic measurement of coil currents. These measurements are presented on the display window immediately after testing or can be printed directly from the device’s built-in printer, offering instant access to test results. Additionally, the EGIL features a built-in breaker control unit which automates setting adjustments for subsequent breaker operations. This automation enhances the user-friendliness of the device, making it straightforward for technicians to operate it during sequential tests.

The EGIL’s capabilities can be further expanded by using it with the SDRM and the SDRM accessory, which enable the performance of both static and dynamic resistance measurements. These measurements are crucial for assessing the integrity and functionality of circuit breakers, providing detailed diagnostics that help in maintenance decisions.

Moreover, for those who require advanced data management and analysis, the EGIL can be equipped with an optional USB interface. This interface facilitates communication with a PC and is compatible with the CABA Win circuit breaker analysis software. This software integration allows for more detailed analysis and archiving of test data, enhancing the overall value and utility of the EGIL in maintaining and troubleshooting circuit breakers.
