MEGGER BM15 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The MEGGER BM15 is a compact, lightweight analogue insulation resistance tester designed for quick and accurate insulation testing up to 5 kV. It offers four selectable test voltages: 500 V, 1000 V, 2500 V, and 5000 V, enabling versatility for various insulation measurement applications. Its measurement sensitivity ranges from 100 kΩ to 20 GΩ, accommodating a broad range of insulation resistances. The device features a resilient mounted analog scale with a single scale for insulation values, reducing operator error and simplifying readouts. Pass/fail overlays enhance rapid testing functionality. It operates on eight AA batteries (rechargeable or LR6), providing portability and extended field use. The tester includes safety recessed terminals and long connectors conforming to IEC1010 safety specifications and is CE marked for compliance. It delivers a short circuit current of 1.5 mA ± 0.5 mA, supports maximum capacitance of 5 µF on test loads, and includes interference rejection against 50-60 Hz noise. Additionally, the instrument auto-indicates discharge voltage range up to 600 V AC. The unit measures 8.9 x 6.3 x 4.5 inches (LxWxH) and weighs approximately 4 pounds with batteries, making it robust yet portable for electrical contractors, maintenance engineers, and utility applications requiring insulation resistance verification and go/no-go testing. Its rugged ABS case design and proven accuracy ±2.5% full scale deflection ensure reliable field performance.
