Course overview
A megohmmeter applies a high voltage to an insulated conductor to measure resistance. It can help identify degraded insulation and enhance preventative maintenance programs. The Megohmmeter training course explains how to use the equipment to safely measure wire insulation resistance. This online course focuses on electrical insulation, how to take a reading, high voltage tests, and spot test examples. Megohmmeter is part of the Test Equipment training series.
