About Megger Established in late 1800s, head-quarted at Dover, UK Megger is

premier global manufacturer of electrical test and measurement instruments designed to perform preventive maintenance and

troubleshooting in electrical power applications, building & wiring and telecommunications. The first trademark was registered in 1903 and is jealously guarded by the company. Megger is very well known with

invention of original Insulation testers and also supply products related to cable fault locating, Low resistance measuring, protective relay testing, earth testing, power quality, insulation testers,

multimeters, portable appliance testers, clamp on meters, current transformers etc.

History

1885 Sydney Evershed first made electrical measuring instrument. Later Co-founded by Sydney Evershed (1858-1939) and Ernest Vignoles purchased the instrument section of Goolden and

Trotter where they worked together and founded Evershed & Vignoles Limited based in London England. First electrical tester was owned by

them, wherein they also moved in acquiring several other electronic devices patents. First Insulation tester was named to be megha ohm meter and later Megger which became company trademark name by

1903 and was known to all engineers by 1920. Over the years Megger has acquired several other major electrical test and measurement

manufacturing companies both in the USA and UK. These companies now operate under the Megger name and include the well known

brand names of Multiamp, Biddle, Foster, AVO, AVO training Institute, Programma, States Switches, Pax Diagnostics, Power DB

and Metrosonics.
