An Overview of the Megger EZ-Thump

Covers the capacity of the Megger EZ-Thump, how to determine voltage capacity, and various functionality features.

The Megger EZ-Thump 12kV Thumper and TDR Power Cable Fault locator operates off either ac supply or internal batteries. The kit includes the Megger pin-pointer to locate faults when used in thump mode. Internal battery provides 30 min of thumping with a 3 h recharge time. Generates a 500 J 0 to 12 kV @ 12 mA pulse for thumping.

Measure Internal Impedance on Batteries using a Hioki 3554

How to determine failure levels for your batteries, the internal resistance measurement level, and cut-off voltage. Also gives a quick overview on setting up the Hioki 3554 Battery HiTester to conduct tests.

Takes on-the-spot measurements of the internal resistance, voltage and temperature of lead-acid batteries, principally for UPS and similar applications, without needing to shut off the battery. Instantaneous results, on a three-rank scale of Pass, Warning, or Fail, using a composite decision based on the internal resistance and the voltage. Resolution of 1 µohm, necessary for high capacity batteries (of at least 500 Ah). Includes Hioki 9460 clip type temperature leads.
