MIT 10kV Insulation Resistance Tester. Hire from Megavar for insulation resistance testing on HV cables, transformers and switchgear in Australia.
Description
The MIT 10kV Insulation Resistance Tester is a high-voltage digital megohmmeter designed for advanced insulation testing on critical electrical infrastructure. With selectable test voltages up to 10,000 V and a resistance range reaching 35 TΩ, this unit is ideal for assessing the insulation integrity of transformers, switchgear, rotating machines, and cables. It includes diagnostic functions such as Polarisation Index (PI), Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR), Step Voltage, and Dielectric Discharge, giving users a clear picture of insulation health over time. Built for both field and industrial environments, the tester combines reliability with portability, and features internal data storage and USB connectivity for reporting.

• Selectable test voltages from 250 V to 10 kV
• Measures insulation resistance up to 35 TΩ
• PI, DAR, Step Voltage and Dielectric Discharge test modes
• Rechargeable battery and mains power operation
• Large dual digital/analogue display with backlight
• Timed testing with auto-stop and pass/fail indicators
• USB interface for PC connectivity and result export
• Onboard memory for storing test results
• CAT IV 600 V safety rating
• IP65 weather-resistant housing (lid closed)
• Supplied with HV test leads, charger, user guide, and carry case

Calibration

All Megavar test equipment is maintained under a documented calibration programme. Instruments are calibrated either by external calibration laboratories or in-house against reference standards that are themselves laboratory-calibrated, with measurement traceable to Australian national measurement standards held by the National Measurement Institute. A current calibration certificate is available on request. If your project requires a specific calibration interval, test standard, or documentation for a client submission, tell us at enquiry on 1300 730 499 and we will confirm what applies before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Megger MIT1020 10kV Insulation Resistance Tester

What does the MIT 10kV tester measure?

It measures insulation resistance in electrical equipment using test voltages up to 10,000 V. It’s designed to detect insulation breakdown, moisture ingress, or degradation.

The tester can measure insulation resistance up to 35 teraohms (TΩ), providing accurate results even on high-resistance systems.

It supports PI, DAR, Step Voltage, and Dielectric Discharge tests, helping identify insulation ageing, contamination, or thermal degradation.

Yes. The MIT 10kV is housed in a rugged, weather-resistant case and operates on a rechargeable battery, making it well suited for on-site testing.

Yes. Test results can be saved to internal memory and exported via USB for analysis and reporting.

It’s used to test insulation in high-voltage motors, generators, transformers, switchgear, and long cable runs — especially during commissioning, maintenance, and fault investigation.

Yes. We offer technical support throughout the hire period, including help with test setup, operation, and interpreting results.

The rental includes the MIT 10kV tester, high-voltage test leads, charger, carry case, and quick-start instructions.

The minimum hire duration is 3 days. We offer reduced rates for weekly and monthly hires.

Yes. Extensions are available depending on equipment availability. Please contact us before your return date.
