Wind Farm Test Equipment

  • Improve efficiency, reduce cost and extend the life of your assets

Test equipment that is very useful in wind farm applications includes Electric Motors and Generator Testers, Contact Connections Testers. It also includes Earthing System Testers, and Lightning Protection Systems. Insulation Resistance Analysis, Legal Certainty In Wind Energy and Circuit Breakers are important too.

 

Testing Electric Motors and Generator

The Megger MTR105 is designed for comprehensive testing of electric motors and generators within wind turbines. Insulation resistance diagnostics, Kelvin low-resistance measurement, and motor rotation direction testing help find early faults. This can prevent downtime.

Its IP54 rugged design makes it reliable in tough onshore and offshore environments. This helps maintenance teams keep nacelle machinery running safely and efficiently.

  • And more...

 

Contact Connections Testers

The MOM2 is a lightweight, battery-powered micro-ohmmeter that delivers up to 220 A test current. For wind farms, it ensures low-resistance connections across turbines, from busbar joints to circuit breaker contacts, preventing overheating and fire risks. Its DualGround capability allows safe measurements with both sides grounded, a critical advantage when working at height in nacelles.

Megger MOM2

MOM2 Handy Micro-Ohmmeter (tests up to 220 A test current)

Ideal for your environment: Weighing in at 1 kg... it's perfect when working at higher altitudes

Features

  • All contact connections within the turbine must be low-resistance enough to prevent devastating fires after heat formation
  • The 220 A test current means you will learn much more about the fault than with the 100 A required by the standard
  • Weighing in at just under 1 kg it's perfect when working at higher altitudes (such as in the nacelle of a turbine), on load isolating switches, on busbars or when working in confined spaces
  • Thanks to the battery, you can work for a full day without having to connect to the mains
  • The measurement memory collects your results during the day, which you can then evaluate later comfortably and safely with MOM2 Win on a PC
  • And more...

 

Earthing System Testers

The DET24C enables non-intrusive earth resistance testing, making it ideal for validating foundation electrodes and lightning protection systems on wind turbines. With a CAT IV 600 V safety rating and Bluetooth data transfer, it allows operators to confirm grounding integrity without disconnecting the system. Its flat jaw design resists dirt build-up, ensuring reliable results even in coastal or offshore wind farms.

Megger DET24C

DET24C Handy Earth Clamps

Application: Earth resistance measurement is a fundamental test in every wind turbine

Features

  • Earth resistance measurement is the only way to prove the effectiveness of the foundation earth electrode
  • Induces a voltage into the loop and measures the current that flows in the earthing system
  • The resistance of the earth loop can be determined from this and this allows you to measure the resistance in earthing or lightning protection systems
  • The novel, elliptical design of the jaw and the short jaw body allow you to safely cover round or even flat earth connections
  • The use of flat jaws prevents dirt buildup on the clamp and ensures measurement accuracy and reliability in practice
  • CAT IV 600 V measurement category
  • And more...

 

Lightning Protection Systems

The DLRO10HD and DLRO10HDX provide accurate low-resistance measurements up to 10 A, essential for verifying lightning protection paths, welded connections, and turbine bonding. Their rugged IP65-rated enclosures withstand challenging environments, while the HDX model adds onboard memory and PowerDB compatibility for streamlined reporting. These instruments help ensure wind turbines remain protected against destructive lightning strikes.

Megger DLRO10

DLRO10HD / DLRO10HDX Micro-Ohmmeters

Application: Lightning strikes can completely destroy a wind turbine

Features

  • Wind turbines stand high up on hills or in open spaces and this means lightning strikes are a concern!
  • Lightning strikes are not a problem if the resistance of the lightning protection system is low enough. DLRO10HD is specifically designed for this important test
  • With a 10 A test current (and up to 100 m test lead for long blades) it's perfect for low-resistance testing on the lightning conductors
  • Suited to many other applications too (testing welding connections or the winding resistance of large motors and transformers)
  • And more...

 

DC Insulation Resistance Analysis

The Megger S1-568 delivers up to 5 kV insulation testing with exceptional noise rejection, making it ideal for diagnosing generators, transformers, and long cable runs in wind farms. Its patented RE>Act mode improves measurement reliability by detecting re-absorption currents, while the Polarisation Index predictor (PIp) saves testing time. Built for high-voltage substations and exposed environments, it ensures long-term insulation integrity of critical assets.

Megger S1 Series

S1 Series High-end Insulation Resistance Tester

Which sector? This tester is ideal for energy suppliers

Features

  • The insulation on each electrical conductor begins to age immediately after the system is installed (heat, frost, saltwater or pests accelerate this process)
  • The systematic testing and diagnosis of the insulation with direct current in the generator, in the transformer and, of course, in all electrical LV lines is therefore the most important test for every electrical component of a turbine!
  • This class of devices offers you special properties that perform particularly well in environments with very high interference, such as substations and switchgears (anywhere where transformers are located).
  • And more...

 

For Legal Certainty In Wind Energy

The SVERKER 900 is a versatile relay and substation test system, providing three-phase current and four-phase voltage outputs for protection relay verification in wind farms. It supports both secondary and primary injection testing, helping engineers validate CTs, relays, and switchgear that safeguard turbine operation. Rugged and field-ready, it gives operators confidence in grid compliance and system protection.
