Megger MIT481 50V to 1000V Insulation and Continuity Tester

This product has now been discontinued and replaced by the Megger MIT481/2 Insulation Tester.

The Megger MIT481 Telecoms Insulation and Continuity Tester has been designed specifically for the telecommunications industry. The Megger MIT481 insulation & continuity tester offers an increased insulation testing range from 50V to 1000V and continuity testing at 200mA or 20mA is provided with TRMS & DC voltage measurement and a combined analogue and dual digital display. The MIT480 series is a direct replacement for the BM80 series that offers greater functionality and application range with simplified operation. In addition the Megger MIT481 is capable of saving test results for recall to the screen. A simple storage structure allows for a test number and screen results to be recalled individually. This telecoms insulation tester also has a leakage current display, frequency measurements, capacitance and cable distance by capacitance.

The Megger MIT481 use a patented analogue arc display which shows essential charge and discharge characteristics not visible on a digital display. The single pointer needle response mimics a moving coil meter and the logarithmic display is used for improved low insulation value measurements. A dual digital display is also employed by the MIT480 insulation tester. The large main digital readout offers good visibility for all main measurements while the second digital display is used for additional data such as insulation test voltage, insulation leakage current, frequency and test mode.

The MIT 481 is designed to be exceptionally safe to use with fast detecting circuitry to prevent damage if accidentally connected to live circuits or across phases. In addition the Megger telecoms insualtion & continuity tester has a default display of live circuit voltages on all ranges with detection and inhibit functions even if the protection fuse has failed. The unit meets the international requirements of IEC1010-2 and EN61557 with a CAT IV 600V rating.
