Megger EGIL Circuit Breaker Analyser

The Megger EGIL Circuit Breaker Analyser is a compact, reliable, and user-friendly instrument designed for testing medium- and high-voltage circuit breakers with a single interrupter per phase. Built with the same trusted technology found in Megger’s larger analyser systems, the EGIL offers a streamlined solution at a cost-effective price.

It is the perfect choice for smaller utilities, industrial substations, and maintenance contractors who require accurate results without the complexity or cost of larger breaker test systems. The EGIL Basic Circuit Breaker Analyser provides professional-grade timing and motion measurement, helping engineers and technicians ensure breaker reliability and operational safety.



Megger EGIL Key Features:

  • Easy to operate – Simple setup with ready-made cable sets and intuitive controls.
  • Compact and portable – Lightweight design with a robust transport case for field use.
  • High reliability – Proven Megger engineering ensures accuracy and long-term durability.
  • Cost-effective – Professional features at a fraction of the price of larger systems.
  • Versatile testing – Suitable for circuit breakers with single interrupters across medium-voltage substations and industrial facilities.
  • Three time channels – with common ground for main and pre-insertion resistor contacts.
  • Two galvanically isolated auxiliary time channels for auxiliary contact measurement.
  • Automatic coil current measurement – displayed in real time.
  • Built-in breaker control unit – with selectable operation sequences (C, O, C-O, O-C, O-C-O).
  • Optional motion channel – for travel and speed measurement of moving contacts.
  • Optional USB interface – or PC connection and CABA Win software integration.
  • Integrated thermal printer – for immediate graphical and numerical results on site.
  • Robust safety features – including galvanically isolated sockets and protective ground terminals.

Applications:

The Megger EGIL is built for routine maintenance and commissioning of circuit breakers. Its applications include:

  • Timing measurements for main and auxiliary contacts.
  • Motion (travel) analysis when equipped with the optional analogue input channel.
  • Measurement of coil currents during breaker operation.
  • Static and dynamic resistance testing with the optional SDRM201 accessory.

Engineers use the EGIL Basic Circuit Breaker Analyser to detect issues such as slow operation, synchronisation errors between phases, and resistance problems in contacts. These insights help prevent costly outages, equipment damage, and safety hazards.



Why Choose the Megger EGIL?

The Megger EGIL Circuit Breaker Analyser is unique because it balances simplicity with performance. Unlike bulkier analysers, it doesn’t require extensive training. Simply connect the included cable sets, ground the device, and turn the MEASURE knob to get instant results.

For companies needing dependable test results without unnecessary complexity, the EGIL Basic Circuit Breaker Analyser provides the ideal balance of affordability and capability. It’s particularly attractive to:

  • Smaller utilities that cannot justify larger, more expensive analysers.
  • Large power companies seeking a supplementary analyser for routine checks.
  • Independent testing contractors who need portability and reliability in the field.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What makes the Megger EGIL different from larger breaker analysers?

A. The Megger EGIL Circuit Breaker Analyser offers the essential timing, motion, and current measurement functions found in larger analysers, but in a smaller, simpler, and more affordable package.

Q2: Can the EGIL test breakers with multiple interrupters per phase?

A. No. The EGIL is designed for breakers with one interrupter per phase. For multi-break systems, larger Megger analysers such as the TM1700 series are recommended.

Q3: Does the EGIL support PC connectivity?

A. Yes, selected models include a USB interface and CABA Win software for advanced reporting and analysis.

Q4: Can I measure travel (motion) with the EGIL Basic Circuit Breaker Analyser?

A. The base model does not include motion measurement, but you can add this functionality with the analogue input channel and compatible transducers.

Q5: Is the EGIL suitable for field testing?

A. Absolutely. Its compact design, rugged casing, and built-in printer make it ideal for on-site testing in substations and industrial environments.



The Takeaway

The Megger EGIL Circuit Breaker Analyser is a trusted solution for utilities, contractors, and maintenance teams who need accurate breaker performance testing without unnecessary complexity or cost. Whether you choose the EGIL Basic Circuit Breaker Analyser or one of the advanced configurations, you’ll benefit from Megger’s proven reliability, simple operation, and professional-grade results.
