New Hand-held, High Current Micro-ohmmeter from Megger
Delivers Up to 240 A of Current
The MOM2 is ideal for testing busbar and cable joints
Norristown, Pa. May 2013 – Megger, one of the world’s leading manufacturers and
suppliers of test equipment and measuring instruments for electrical power
applications, now offers a handheld, high current micro-ohmmeter that delivers up to
240 A of current. The new MOM2 is ideal for testing busbar and cable joints as well
as carrying out contact resistance measurements on low-, medium- and high-voltage
circuit breakers.
The lightweight, versatile MOM2 is safe and easy to use. It features DualGround™
testing for circuit breakers, allowing both sides of a circuit breaker to be earthed
while testing and eliminating potential hazards from induced voltages. Its rugged
design makes it optimal for work in the field.
Designed to operate from rechargeable batteries that give over 2,000 measurements
per charge, this high current micro-ohmmeter can be used to carry out a full day’s
testing in locations where no power supply is available. The instrument can store up
to 190 test values and transfer test data to a PC via Bluetooth. The Bluetooth
feature can also be used with a supplied wireless headset to provide an audible
pass/fail signal against user-adjustable limits during testing.

The MOM2 uses ultra-capacitor technology to generate high output current and to
achieve its unique combination of size, weight and performance. Voltage and
current in the test circuit are monitored throughout the discharge process while
displaying an average value of resistance on the instrument.
The MOM2 can measure resistance from 1 micro-ohm to 1 ohm. A large LCD
screen on the instrument shows results as well as incorporates an analog arc to
show the start of charge by the ultra-capacitor.
Depending on the resistance of the test circuits, a guaranteed minimum test current
of 100 A can be achieved for three seconds, with higher currents up to 240 A for
shorter periods.
Circuit breaker tests performed with the MOM2 conform fully to IEC and IEEE
standards.
The MOM2 comes standard with a robust transport case that includes two 4-foot test
cables that are fitted with Kelvin probes. The unit also includes a sturdy rubber
holster, a charger, a Bluetooth kit incorporating a headset and dongle for computers
that lack built-in Bluetooth capabilities as well as a copy of the MOM2 Win software
package used for convenient processing and archiving of results.
