Data records
- The manufacturer's page for the INGVAR was read on the date given in the value. Value: 2026-10-27.
- Megger lists the INGVAR as a primary current injection test system for protective relay equipment and circuit breakers. Value: primary injection test set.
- The control unit of the INGVAR calculates impedance, power, power factor and phase angle and shows them on the display.
- The datasheet states the INGVAR tests the turns ratio and polarity of current transformers and displays the ratio directly as a nominal value.
- A current reduction function lets the operator preset the test current of the INGVAR at a reduced level before injection, which the manufacturer states prevents heating of the test object.
- The INGVAR injects a high AC current for primary injection testing of low voltage circuit breakers and protective relay equipment and stops timing when the breaker interrupts the current.
- The datasheet states the INGVAR can be set to test circuit breakers with reclosing relays and sectionalizers and to perform heat runs.
- An INGVAR system consists of a control unit and a current unit whose outputs can be connected in parallel or in series.
- The INGVAR is a product of Megger. Value: Megger.
- The manufacturer gives the model designation as INGVAR. Value: INGVAR.
- Megger maintains a product page for the INGVAR on its own website, which is the page cited for this entry.
- The datasheet states the main ammeter ranges and inaccuracy of the INGVAR. Value: serial low 0 to 2.15 kA; serial high 0 to 3.30 kA; parallel low 0 to 4.00 kA; parallel high 0 to 6.50 kA; inaccuracy 1 % of range ±1 digit.
- The datasheet states the dimensions of the control unit and of the current unit of the INGVAR. Value: control unit 546 x 347 x 247 mm (21.5 x 13.7 x 9.7 in); current unit 410 x 340 x 205 mm (16.1 x 13.4 x 8 in).
- The datasheet states the mains voltage range and the mains inlet rating of the INGVAR. Value: 100 to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz; IEC 60309-1, -2 inlet, 16 A.
- The product page states the maximum AC output current of the INGVAR in parallel mode with its generation time and load voltage. Value: 5,000 A.
- The datasheet states the measurement category and rated transient overvoltage of the INGVAR. Value: CAT I, rated transient overvoltage 2200 V.
- The datasheet states the operating temperature range of the INGVAR. Value: 0 °C to +50 °C (+32 °F to +122 °F).
- The datasheet states the output ratings of the INGVAR with the outputs in parallel on the higher mains voltage. Value: parallel, 240 V mains: 700 A continuous (2.6 V load voltage); 1000 A for 30 min; 2000 A for 3 min; 3000 A for 1 min; 5000 A for 2 s.
- The datasheet states the output ratings of the INGVAR with the outputs in series on the higher mains voltage. Value: series, 240 V mains: 6 V no-load voltage; 350 A continuous; 500 A for 20 min; 1500 A for 2 min.
- The datasheet states the weight of the control unit and of the current unit of the INGVAR. Value: control unit 20 kg (44 lbs); current unit 21 kg (46.3 lbs).
- The datasheet gives the mains inlet of the INGVAR as a connector to IEC 60309-1 and IEC 60309-2 and gives no edition. Value: IEC 60309-1, -2.
- The catalog name of the model is written Megger INGVAR. Value: Megger INGVAR.
