3. Setélan
3.1 Ngabongkar sareng Inspeksi
Upon receiving your Megger MIT525-US, carefully unpack all components and inspect for any signs of damage. The package should include the main unit, test leads, and power cable.
3.2 Powering Instrumén
The MIT525-US operates from line power (85 to 265 V, 50/60 Hz) or its internal lithium-ion battery. The battery charges automatically when connected to line power, even during operation.
- Connect the power cable to the instrument's power input and a suitable AC outlet.
- Allow approximately 2.5 hours for a full battery charge. A 0.5-hour charge provides approximately 1 hour of testing.
3.3 Nyambungkeun Test Leads
Connect the provided test leads to the appropriate terminals on the instrument. The MIT525-US features dedicated terminals for positive (+), negative (-), and guard connections.
- Connect the red lead to the positive (+) terminal.
- Connect the black lead to the negative (-) terminal.
- Connect the blue lead to the guard terminal (if required for high accuracy measurements).
4. Parentah Operasi
4.1 Basic Insulation Resistance (IR) Test
The MIT525-US offers resistance measurement up to 10 TΩ for 5 kV models.
- Daya Hurung: Hurungkeun switch Rotary ka vol test dipikahoyongtage (e.g., 500 V, 1 kV, 2.5 kV, 5 kV). The instrument will power on and display the selected voltage.
- Connect to DUT: Connect the test leads to the Device Under Test (DUT) according to safety guidelines.
- Pilih Vol Téstage: Paké voltage selection knob to fine-tune the test voltage in 10 V steps (50 V to 1 kV) or 25 V steps (1 kV to max test voltagjeung).
- Mimitian Tés: Pencét éta UJI button. The instrument will apply the test voltage sareng témbongkeun résistansi insulasi.
- Baca pangukuran: The digital/analog display will show the resistance value.
- Terminate Test: Ngaleupaskeun UJI button. The instrument will automatically discharge the DUT.
4.2 Advanced Diagnostic Tests
The MIT525-US supports various diagnostic tests including Polarization Index (PI), Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR), Dielectric Discharge (DD), Step Voltage (SV), and Ramp tests. These tests are crucial for assessing insulation quality and trending.
- Tés PI/DAR: Select the PI/DAR mode using the rotary switch. The instrument will automatically perform timed IR measurements at specific intervals to calculate these ratios.
- DD Test: Select the DD mode. This test measures the discharge current after a period of charging, indicating insulation degradation.
- SV Test: In Step Voltage mode, the instrument applies a series of increasing test voltages, allowing for detection of voltage-dependent insulation weaknesses.
- Ramp Tes: Ramp test gradually increases the test voltage, providing a detailed breakdown characteristic of the insulation.
Refer to the on-screen menu and detailed instructions within the instrument's internal software for specific parameter settings and interpretation of results for advanced tests.
4.3 Voltmeter Function
The instrument includes a dedicated voltmeter function (30 V to 660 V) with frequency measurement to check for induced voltages on the circuit before testing.
