I worked at a testing facility for testing high voltage interrupters
(fuses, etc.) and we had a 13500 feed directly from a power plant. When
we had to rewire the primary side of the facility, we'd pull a large
high voltage breaker. Before reinserting it, it was always tested for
megohm resistance before putting it back in circuit (open).
A little resistance went a long way there.
It was interesting having to use a Megger at one end, but for other
blows of 6000 amp 600v fuses we had a Moh meter, which used a null meter
to indicate the conductance. (hopefully I remembered all the right terms).

So, I'm supposed to use it as what, an adjective or adverb?
Probably an
adjective. 'A Megger high-voltage insulation tester'. Not
that anybody does. It may be incorrect but everybody (and most books too)
talk about 'A Megger'
