MEGGER
Megger is the portable insulation tester. It is used to remove very high resistance of the order of mega ohms.
PRINCIPLE
The instrument works on the principle of ratio-meter/ohmmeter.The required deflection torque is produce by both voltage and
current.Due to the interaction between the magnetic field produce by voltage and current,the deflecting torque is produce.The
required coil are so positioned that the deflecting torque is proportional to the ratio V/I.
WORKING
Resistance to be measured is connected across the test terminals i.e. connected in series with the deflecting coil and across
the generator.When current are supplied to the coils then they have torque in opposite direction.
If the resistance to be measured is high,no current is flowing through the deflecting coil.The controlling coil will therefore
,set itself perpendicular to the magnetic axis and hence,set the pointer at infinity.
If the resistance to be measured is small,a high current is flowing through the deflecting coil and the resulting torque
sets the pointer to zero.
For intermediate values of resistances,depending upon the torque production,the pointer is set at a point between zero
and infinity.
The hand driven generator is of permanent magnet type and it is designed to generate from 500V to 2500V.
The most important field of application of Megger is the measurement of insulation resistance. Such as the insulation
resistance between the windings and the frame of electrical machinery, the insulation resistance of cables, wiring
installations insulators and bushing etc.
Why double earthing is provided with high rating machines? What instrument is used for earth leakage current?
Double earthing: high rating machines have more leakage current. For double earthing the net effective earth resistance
will be low.
If one earthing system fails the other will operate. Installation of two reduces the resistance of the earthing system to
minimum possible value. This system provides additional safety measures to eliminate the chances of electrical
accidents.
Earth Lekage Circuit breaker is used for earth leakage current.
What is meant by coupling? Name different methods of coupling.
Couplings are mechanical elements that couples two drive elements which enables motion to be transferred from one
element to another. The drive elements are normally shafts. A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together
at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power.
