megger generates D.C. voltage while earth tester generates
A.C.voltage is it true? I know for megger it is D.C
generator but what about earth tester?
Answer Posted / avinash
Megger and Earth tester have opposite functions. Megger check insulation resistance to make sure there is no path to Earth, and it measure the resistance in Mega ohms. Megger uses DC to avoid conductance due to reactive components.
Earth tester function makes sure there is very good path to Earth and measures resistance in fraction of ohms. It uses AC to make sure there is no inductance in path. With DC inductance can give false zero reading.

1. for eg, capacitor is used for many purposes(it act as filter, oscillator, bypass capacitor, memory storage etc...) 2. Please tell me some example circuits for different uses of capacitor( whenever and whereever and however we used capacitor as a filter, oscillator tuning etc..) 3. similarly for inductor and resistors(it act as what?) and when and how we want to act as like that?, and how we can used these components depends upon our requirments with example circuits and explanation? design to act as these components depends
