(Not the Brand Name "Megger", but...)

Re-equipping my truck, and the Wife asked if there was anything I needed that I didn't have before. Seeing my chance to buy some toys, (hehehe [Linked Image] ) I suggested a few things off the top of my head, and then told her I needed to think about some others.

Perhaps I'm showing the limits of my experience here, but, since we pride ourselves in continually learning, I'll ask the question. What's a megohmmeter used for?

I know the primary use is to check insulation integrity, but how often do you use one? What are the other uses? Will the $249.00 one work as well as the $1899.00 one for "basic" use? Do I need one for resi work?

Just need to satisfy my brain on this.

Thanks in advance,
