The MTR105X is a handheld rotating machine tester for motors and generators. It combines insulation, low-resistance, continuity, capacitance, inductance, temperature, and rotation checks in one portable instrument, with Bluetooth connectivity added for CertSuite Asset data streaming and reporting.
The MTR105X is a handheld rotating machine tester for motors and generators. It combines insulation, low-resistance, continuity, capacitance, inductance, temperature, and rotation checks in one portable instrument, with Bluetooth connectivity added for CertSuite Asset data streaming and reporting.
The MTR105X combines several common motor-test functions into one handheld device, reducing setup time and simplifying field or workshop diagnostics.
For reliability teams, it supports preventive maintenance by helping identify insulation degradation, winding imbalance, poor connections, and rotation issues before they lead to costly failures. Megger specifically highlights diagnostics such as temperature compensation and polarisation index testing for identifying motor problems before breakdowns.
For reporting and asset management, the MTR105X Bluetooth connection is the key advantage over the standard MTR105. It can stream results to CertSuite Asset, store results against specific motors or generators, support repeat testing, and help trend results over time. It can also still be used fully as a standalone tester without CertSuite.
