Megger NIM1000 Loop Impedance Tester

The Megger NIM1000 is an advanced megger earth loop impedance tester engineered for accurate, high-current diagnostic testing in low-voltage electrical networks. Designed for utility teams, industrial electricians, and commissioning engineers, the Megger NIM1000 provides precise loop impedance measurements under real-world load conditions using test currents up to 1000 A. This high-current capability helps reveal hidden problems such as weak contacts, neutral conductor faults, and load-dependent issues that traditional testers often fail to detect. With its rugged build, intuitive rotary control, and bright TFT display, the Megger NIM1000 delivers professional-grade performance for demanding on-site environments.

As a versatile megger earth loop impedance tester, the Megger NIM1000 measures complex impedance up to the 10th harmonic, allowing users to evaluate the true behaviour of electrical systems under load. Its sophisticated measurement process uses a controlled load circuit and real-time waveform capture, providing accurate readings for resistance, reactance, and overall network impedance. Whether used for preventive maintenance, network approval testing, or troubleshooting intermittent faults, the Megger NIM1000 ensures fast, reliable, and repeatable results.

The Megger NIM1000 also supports both single-phase and multi-phase testing, automatically switching between phases to provide a complete assessment of the electrical installation. Its capability to calculate voltage dips (VDIP) and maximum connected load (PMAX) makes it extremely valuable for verifying system design, checking fuse ratings, and confirming safe operating limits. This functionality ensures that installations remain compliant, safe, and prepared for today’s increasingly demanding electrical loads.
