The Megger BGFT, (Megger Battery Ground-Fault Tracer) is an economical, manually-balanced instrument that identifies, tracks and locates ground faults in ungrounded dc battery systems - on-line. It is particularly effective in a high electrical noise environments, as the strength of the test current can be adjusted.

The Battery Ground-Fault Tracer accelerates fault location by eliminating trial-and-error procedures and because faults can be located without going off-line. It is particularly useful in any industry where supply of power for operating measurement, communication and control equipment is critical.

FEATURES

Easily locates ground faults up to 399kΩ in ungrounded dc systems.
Operates in high electrical noise on line environment.
High/low switch provides the needed power to locate high impedance faults.
Characterise the resistance and capacitance of a fault.
No wasted time tracing false paths.
Operates on live battery systems (on line).
