Applications:

The BM11 series is designed for testing the insulation of high voltage electrical equipment and the wide voltage range also allows it to be applied to low voltage equipment.

Generators, motors, transformers, cables and switchgear all require effective maintenance and the test techniques on the Megger range give valuable diagnostic information.

‘Spot’ Insulation tests that are the most widely used, check on the general condition of electrical insulation, called up in most standards covering equipment design, testing, installation and maintenance.

Insulation suffers from gradual steady decline, as well as occasional sudden damage; the effects of dirt, grease, moisture, vibration and chemical attack can be tracked through the recording of Polarisation Index tests which remove the temperature dependence of raw Insulation Resistance measurements.

For finding more localised insulation problems, the BM25 includes both Step Voltage and Dielectric Discharge tests. Step Voltage identifies local weak spots because they respond differently as the electrical stress is increased, while the Dielectric Discharge test can show up a single bad layer in multilayer insulation. The key to Predictive maintenance is the trending of diagnostic tests and this is facilitated on the BM25 by the ability to use a PC to store results over time for trend analysis.




  Description

The Megger® BM11 series of 5 kV Insulation Testers provides a choice of features to suit all applications and budgets.

The traditional BM11 instrument became the industry standard 5 kV tester. It is battery-powered, housed in a rugged case and has a large, simple white-on-black scale.

The series has been extended with three analog/digital instruments; the BM11D, BM21 and BM25. These instruments show results and test options on a large, clear analog/digital scale for both practicality and precision. A built-in timer makes both spot tests and PI testing easier to carry out.

They are powered by a built-in rechargeable lead-acid battery which can be charged directly from any supply from 95 V to 265 V. All testers incorporate a guard terminal to allow surface leakage to be removed.

Pre-set standard test voltages at 500 V, 1000 V, 2500 V and 5000 V are supplemented on the BM21 and BM25 units with a variable test voltage in 25 V steps. These top of the range units also allow measurement of resistance to 5 T-ohm, leakage current to 0,01 nA and can display capacitance at the end of a test to 10 µF.

The BM25 extends the diagnostic testing capability of the range by performing automatic Polarisation Index, Step Voltage and Dielectric Discharge tests as well as providing an optically isolated RS232 port for downloading results during a test.
