Important
Warning
Connecting – before test
1.
Before measuring resistance in circuit breakers
or disconnecting switches (isolators), always
check to see that the object being tested is
closed and grounded at least on one side.
2.
Do not connect the instrument to inductive
loads if not necessary. This can cause high voltages when removing the current clamps and
possibly damage MOM2.
3.
Always connect the protective ground on
MOM2 before making any other connections.
4.
Always connect the test cables to MOM2 before connecting them to the test object.
5.
Never connect MOM2 to live circuits.
During test
1.
The rising current waveforms produced by the
instrument may induce enough current into
the secondary of a current transformer (CT)
circuit to actuate a protective relay.
If there is a CT in the current circuit, the protective relay equipment that is connected to it
must be blocked to prevent actuation.
After completing the measurements, you can
follow the normal procedures that are used to
demagnetize current transformer cores after
DC has passed through their current transformer.
Always comply with local safety
regulations.
Disconnecting – after test
1.
First, disconnect all test cables from the test
object and then disconnect them from MOM2.
Last, disconnect the protective ground from
MOM2.

1 SAFETY
This product contains a coin cell battery which contains 1,2- dimethoxyethane (CAS 110-71-4) above
The MOM2 is designed to measure the resistance of
circuit breaker contacts, bus-bar joints, contact elements in bus-bars and other high-current links.
When contact resistance rises because of oxidation,
loosened or improperly tightened threaded joints,
temperatures rise abnormally at the points of contact.
This abnormal heating reduces conductivity thereby
accelerating the rise in temperature — and this often
leads to serious trouble.
The MOM2 micro-ohmmeter can be used to detect
such problems early so that they can be remedied
long before trouble starts. Checking contact resistance
at regular intervals provides a clear indication of the
state of your system.
Unpack system
Unpack the unit and check for evidence of any shipping damage. If there is any visual damage, immediately notify the freight carrier to make a damage
claim, and notify Megger of the damage.
2.2 Service and support
For technical assistance please contact your local
representative or direct your request to Megger in
Sweden.
When sending the instrument, please use either the
original crate or one of equivalent strength.
Add the return authorization number to the address
label of the shipping container for proper identification and quicker handling.
The output current is delivered from a supercapacitor
which is charged from the built-in rechargeable batteries.
Kelvin test
The MOM2 uses Kelvin probes or clamps for the
measurement. A Kelvin test uses four wires and measures continuity resistances ensuring all contact and
lead resistances are compensated for, which allows a
much greater accuracy in measurements. Each Kelvin
probe assembly has two probe tips. When contacting
the test object it will be contacted with two plus two
probe tips. One pair is for the current generated. The
other pair will measure the very small voltage present.
2.4 DualGround – Both
sides grounded
With MOM2 it is possible to make measurements
according to the DualGround™ method. The most important advantage is improved safety but the method
is also easier and saves time. The number of tasks is
reduced when the ground cable does not need to be
disconnected and reconnected. Permission related
work that may include paper work could many times
be avoided. However, the local safety regulations shall
always be followed.
Using the DualGround method might cause a small
measurement error cause by the current running
through the ground loop. The error value depends on
the relation between the two parallel circuits.
Example: If the test object is 50 µ and ground loop
is 10 m the error will be 0.5%
Two 10 m, 95 mm
of around 3.6 m. Transitional resistance in connections and clamps to be added.
2
grounding cables has a resistance
Principle for the 4 wire Kelvin test.
With both sides grounded the induced current will not pass
through the test instrument.
When turning the function selector from OFF to any
position the display will shortly show a number e.g.
008 and then during five seconds the internal software version e.g. "01C" (revision R01C).

Before using the MOM2 the batteries should be
charged. Use the supplied charger and connect it
to the socket at the bottom of the MOM2. Typical
recharge time for fully discharged batteries is 3 hours,
at 25°C (77°F).
TipPlace the MOM2 upside down to get better
the cooling of the batteries.
Important
MOM2 cannot be used for testing during
charging.
Replacing the batteries
1] Loosen the two screws that holds the battery
plate at the back of MOM2, see figure below.
It is recommended to use the same type of batteries
(AA (HR6) 2700 mAh NiMH) as the original ones.

Battery practice
▪ To extend the battery life cycle time it is a good practice
to recondition the batteries in a separate charger that has
recondition options like refresh / discharge. It is a good
idea to condition the batteries once in about 6 months or
after around 12 regular charge cycles to get the most out
of them.
▪ To prevent the batteries from becoming fully discharged,
if MOM2 is not used regularly, a good rule of thumb is to
charge the batteries every month.
Prepare testing by charging the batteries se section
4.10 Battery power supply.
Note The MOM2 cannot be used for testing during
battery charging.

To choose measurement time
In an environment without electrical interference it is
wise to choose the shortest measurement time, which
means that you can get the largest number of measurements on a single battery charge.
Note The shortest measurement time (0.1 s) is not
suitable in environments with a frequency of
16 2 / 3 Hz.
Tip: Start making three tests with the shortest
measurement time to figure out if the results
vary. If they do not differ significantly - use 0.1
s for the tests.
To choose I > I min or I = I max
If you want maximum current for the test, choose
I = I max. The capacitor will be charged to its maximum and requires much energy from the batteries.
If lower current is sufficient for the measurement,
it is advisable to use the I > I min position. In the
SET / I min position you select the minimum current to
be 50 A or 100 A.
Min current guarantee

Working at low temperatures
MOM2 can be operated down to -20°C provided that
the batteries keep a temperature over 0°C. When the
instrument is in use the batteries will generate heat
enough to keep themselves warm.

5.8 Testing on circuit
breakers having a current
transformer in the loop
If there is a current transformer (CT) in series with the
breaker contact to be tested then it is advisable to make
some basic checks.
Encapsulated or dead tank breakers are the most common
types which have a current transformer in the loop.
The technical reason is that the CT must be saturated before
it is possible to get a reliable result. To get a transformer
saturated it needs time and current or an open secondary
winding.
A CT included in the circuit may influence the DC resistance
reading. The CT need to be in saturation not to influence
the DC resistance measurement. The time required to drive
the CT in saturation depends on current level and secondary
side burden, the time is usually several seconds if secondary
side is shorted.
If possible make a visual check to be sure that there is no
current transformer in the loop. If this is not possible like in
encapsulated breakers then make the following check:
1] Make two tests, one with 0.1 second and one
with 3 seconds setting. If the values are equal
then there is no current transformer in the
loop.

6.2 Measurement using
Kelvin probes
An example how to perform testing using the two
Kelvin probes. This example describes the performance if you only want to know if the test object pass
a preset value and you do not need to store the test
results.
1] Select LOG function "OFF", and set P/F value
(see section 4.6 and 4.7).
2] Attach the test cables with Kelvin probes (2 x
1.3 m) one with a trigger, to MOM2.
3] Turn the function selector to desired posi-
tion.
4] Hook the instrument to your belt or use the
strap.
5] Press and hold the two Kelvin probes to the
test object and pull the trigger.
If the value is outside the limits there is a
sound telling the result was fail.
The measurement value remains until another measurement is performed or until the
instrument is switched off.
You can perform testing with both sides grounded.
However the measurement accuracy will be somewhat lower with both sides grounded depending on
the ratio of the currents – circuit breaker / grounding
cables (see section 2.2). This example shows a test on
a HV CB using a man lift.
1] The circuit breaker shall be disconnected,
closed and grounded on both sides.
2] Attach the black (3 m) test cable with Kelvin
clamp and the Kelvin probe with trigger to
the instrument.
3] Hook the MOM2 to your belt or use the strap
to hang it around your neck.
4] Attach the black test cable with Kelvin clamp
to one side of the CB using the man lift.
5] Move yourself to the other side of the CB us-
ing the manlift.
6] Press and hold the Kelvin probe to the test
object and pull the trigger.
6.4 Test a CB by injecting
through the ground cables
1] The circuit breaker (CB) shall be disconnect-
ed, closed and grounded on both sides.
2] Connect the MOM2 to ground.
3] Attach an extra ground cable (not included)
with at least 95mm2 cross section area to one
side of the CB.
4] Connect the 0.5 m current cable to the cur-
rent out minus terminal on the MOM2 and
attach the other end to ground close to
where the CB's grounding cable is attached.
(the opposite side of CB from where the extra ground cable is attached).
5] Mount the 0.1 m plate to the current out
plus terminal on the MOM2 and attach the
extra ground cable to the plate.
6] Connect the sensing cables (red and black) to

To establish the Bluetooth connection the MOM2
must be paired to the PC, see section 4.3.
Automatic connecting
1] Turn the function selector to the PC COM
position on the MOM2 instrument.
At program startup the SW will try to connect to
MOM2 using the same COM port that the last successful connection used. If there have been no previous MOM2 connections from this computer the SW
will scan all available COM ports. If there are several
paired MOM2 instruments nearby the SW will connect to the first one detected. The connection status is
shown on the start page, see Figure 8.3.1.
Manual connecting
1] Open the "Connection settings" window
from the "Settings" menu or double-click on
the connection status text field on the start
page.
The "Connection settings" window will then
pop up, see figure below

Export data to file
1] Click the "Save to file" button (this button is
not enabled if the list is empty).
A "Save as" window will be opened.
Delete all data on the instrument
1] In the "Measurements" window, click the
"Delete all data" button to erase all the
measurements in the instrument log.
2] Type a file name and click the "Save" button
to export the data to file.
A] The default file type is (*.csv) which will save
the data as an ASCII file with comma separated values, suited for import to e.g. Microsoft
Excel.
Note The value separator is dependent of the re-
gional setting in Windows, a semicolon when
comma is used for decimal separator and
comma otherwise.
The format of the exported data is not the same as
what is seen in the measurements table. There is no
mixing of values and units, the units are placed in the
column headers.
B] If file type (*.txt) is selected the data will be
on the start page or choose Program "User"
positions from the "Tools" menu .

Calibration is recommended to be made regularly at a
yearly basis. Please contact your Megger sales representative or a Megger service center.
An alternative is to perform the calibration on your
own. Then you will need the equipment listed below:
▪
Stable DC voltage source, 10 mV – 2000 mV
▪ Calibrated reference voltmeter
▪ Calibration kit (BD-90002)
Procedure
1] Click the "Calibration" button on the Start
page or select "Calibration" from the "Tools"
menu to switch to the calibration page.
The existing calibration factors will be read
from the instrument and the calibration page
will be disabled until it is finished.
The voltage measured with the new calibration
factor will be shown in the "U Verified" field. The
deviation (in percent) from the reference value
will be shown to the right.
6] Repeat from step 1 for the next two ranges.

calibrated before it is possible to calibrate the
Ammeter.
The ammeter is calibrated in an indirectly manner by
measuring the resistance over two predefined shunts
and compare with the reference values. The resistance
is measured with a capacitor voltage suitable for the
voltage and current ranges.
1] Connect the current cables from the MOM2
to the reference shunt
2] Connect separate sense leads from the
MOM2 sense input to the sense outputs of
the reference shunt
3] Enter the value of the shunt in the "R refer-
ence" input field.
The "Measure" button will be enabled if the
resistance is within the limits.
4] Click the "Measure" button next to the field.
When the measurement is started a progress
window is shown, see fig. below. The two
uppermost fields show the measured capacitor voltage and the target voltage.
3] Type the value in the U reference column in
MOM2 Win
4] Click the "Measure" button next to the field.
The value measured by the MOM2 will then be
propagated to the "U measured" text field.
New calibration factors will automatically be
calculated.
the "R Measured" field is filled with the measured resistance value and a new calibration factor
for this measurement range is calculated, see fig.
below.
