Megger MCT105 Cable Tracer
The Megger MCT105 Cable Tracer is a professional cable locating system for electrical, construction and maintenance work. It traces and identifies cables and metallic conductors in walls, floors and underground, and it can operate with both live and de-energised conductors. It also helps locate conductor breaks and short circuits, identify fuses and circuit breakers, and trace metal water and heating pipes.
A separate transmitter and receiver provide visual and audible signal indication to help the user follow the transmitted signal. The receiver offers automatic or manual sensitivity adjustment, allowing the response to be fine-tuned during tracing. A non-contact voltage detector is built into the receiver, while an integrated torch helps when working in dark or poorly lit areas.
The Megger MCT105 Cable Tracer supports five transmitter voltage ranges of 12 V, 50 V, 120 V, 230 V and 400 V. Buried cables can be detected at depths of up to 2.5 metres, while specified cable locator depths depend on the application, medium and connection mode. Both the transmitter and receiver include automatic power-off and low-battery indication for practical day-to-day use.
Key Benefits
- Trace cables and conductors through walls and underground without relying on visual access.
- Work with both live and dead cables or conductors across a range of fault-finding tasks.
- Locate conductor breaks and short circuits to support faster electrical troubleshooting.
- Identify circuit breakers and fuses on electrical circuits during maintenance and diagnosis.
- Use visual and audible signal-strength indication to follow the transmitted signal accurately.
- Adjust receiver sensitivity automatically or manually to suit the tracing task.
- Check for voltage with the receiver’s built-in non-contact voltage detector.
- Use the integrated receiver torch when tracing in dark or confined areas.
- Trace metal water and heating pipes as well as electrical conductors.
- Automatic power-off and low-battery indicators help manage battery use during field work.
