Megger MIT1000

One tester, more everyday jobs covered

Every electrician knows the value of a tool that earns its place in the bag. It needs to be dependable, straightforward to use and versatile enough to save unnecessary trips back to the van.

That is why the Megger MET1000 is our CalMet Product Pick this week. It brings several commonly used electrical testing functions together in one robust handheld unit, making it a practical option for work across domestic, commercial and industrial environments.

What does the Megger MET1000 measure?

The MET1000 is designed to cover a useful range of everyday tasks. Its key functions include:

• AC and DC voltage measurement up to 1000 V
• AC current measurement up to 200 A through its built-in current clamp
• True RMS measurement for AC voltage and current
• Continuity testing
• Phase rotation testing
• Single-pole voltage testing
• Data hold

It also provides both LED and LCD displays, so readings and voltage indication are easy to see. A built-in

LED torch is a small but welcome feature when you are working in a poorly lit cabinet or plant room.

Designed for real working conditions

Test equipment has to cope with more than a clean workbench. The MET1000 has an IP65-rated housing and an ergonomic protective design. It is rated CAT IV 600 V and CAT III 1000 V, and comes with GS38 shrouds as standard.

The detachable probes and rear probe mounting make the tester easier to handle and store. It can also indicate voltage without batteries, adding another useful layer of practicality.

Who is it for?

The MET1000 is suited to electricians and electrical engineers who want a compact tester for common voltage, current and continuity checks. By combining a voltage tester and current clamp with additional functions, it can reduce the number of separate tools needed for routine work.

As always, choose an instrument that is appropriate for the installation, measurement category and procedure involved, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions and your safe system of work.
